Of one , so dearly loved by all;
A bitter grief, a shock severe,
To part with one we loved so dear.

Not now, but in coming years,
It may be in the better land,
We ll read

And there sometime we ll understand.

God knows the way, he holds the key,
He guides us with unerring hand;
Sometime, with tearless eyes, we ll see
Yes, there, up there, we ll understand.

gone home to that land,
At the Father s right hand,
Where the prepared mansions now stand.
May we all heed the call of his

considerably, especially did he depend upon the faithful assistance of Mr. and
Mrs. Floyd Weber, his closest neighbor.
All of those who knew Mr. Christman
and visited him remember his patience and faith in all of his conversation.
Although he was unable to be an active member of the Church during these past years,
he remained a faithful Christian thru his personal devotions and the
inspiration from the Bible and radio worship services. This past fall he wrote
a request in a strong hand, influenced some by the German script. The request
was for the sacrament of communion. After participation in Communion with his
wife, he again received the strength of the love and communion with his Master
Christ. May God bless all of those who remain faithful unto death.

RITES FOR THREE SHOCK VICTIMS
Friends
Keep Wife of One Victim from Going To Scene of Tragedy
A gloom of sadness came over
the community of Chatham, late Thursday afternoon, when it became known that
three local men, all employees of the Dymo Oil
company, had been electrocuted during rigging operations at the rear of the
Long General store.
Killed instantly when 7200
volts of electricity passed through them were Robert Lloyd Hall, 29; Emmett
Cecil Sivard, 32, and Wayne Kirkbride,
54.
The three had gone to pull
pipe from an abandoned oil well when a guy wire from a 30-foot metal pole used
in the operations touched a high tension wire almost directly over the well.
Stanley Long and son, Fred,
were in the barn not more than 50 feet from the well, using an electric sander
when the lights became dim and they heard snapping of electricity. Going
outside they saw Hall lying on the ground near the well and immediately sensed
the tragedy.
They ran to the store a few
feet away and called the Lodi fire department. In the meantime Long and a
customer, Charles Jenkins, returned to the scene and found Kirkbride
and Sivard "frozen" to the guy wires. At
the same time George Kreiger, superintendent of the
oil company, arrived on the scene to see how his workers were getting along. He
joined Long and Jenkins in using hoes and rakes to free the two men.
DR. VICTOR Kolb of Litchfield
was on his way home from Lodi Community hospital and had slowed down to allow
the fire department to pull into the Long place when he was hailed. Efforts to
revive the men were futile. None of them was badly burned, and it is believed
death was instantaneous.
The wife of one of the men
happened to be walking in front of the Long store a few moments after the
tragedy occurred. A friend quickly took her in tow to keep her from visiting
the death scene.
Called to the place were
Sheriff Charles W. Williams, Deputy Steve Helli,
Coroner Andrew Karson and the state highway patrol.
MR. HALL, a former resident
of Lodi, had made his home in Chatham the past year. A veteran of World War II,
he had served in both the European and Asiatic Theater of operations.
Rev. Louis Turner officiated
at rites at the Parker funeral home Monday afternoon with burial in Woodlawn cemetery,
Lodi.
His survivors include a wife,
Phyllis; two sons, Daniel Lee, five years and Lawrence, two years; a daughter,
Lois Sue four years; father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. William Hall of Chatham;
seven brothers and seven sisters, Mrs. Earl Meek of Chippewa Lake, Mrs. Kenneth

Ralph with the U.S. Army in Missouri, and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. George Hall

Sunday afternoon at the Parker funeral home in charge of Rev. Alonzo Todd of Brownhelm. Burial was in the Chatham cemetery.

Ohio Child Dies
In Auto Mishap
On Fish Creek
An Ohio child, 3-year-old
James Meyers, Jr., was killed about 6:45 o'clock Sunday evening in an
automobile mishap near Slippery Ford Bridge, Fish Creek, Marshall county....*
State police at Moundsville
reported the Meyers child, whose parents live in Euclid, O., was riding in a
car with his father, when it apparently went out of control, climbed a bank and
turned over.
The father broken up over the
boy's death was not able to give details of the accident to investigating
troopers. State police were not available for details as they could not be
reached by radio from either Moundsville or Co. 'A' headquarters at Shinnston,
presumably being out of their cars.
The area in which the
accident occurred is well known for its number of summer camps.
The father and son were
brought to the Reynolds Memorial hospital in another car. Hospital attaches
said the child was dead on arrival.
Justice Chester A. Burks was
called in on the case by State police as acting coroner. The justice rendered a
verdict of accidental death.
The body was removed to the
Lutes funeral home, Second street, Moundsville.

Sometime, someday, we know

We will meet our Ernie there.

FAIRMONT -- The body of William

Deputy Sheriff Lora Yeager said Snider
apparently was the victim of a hit and run driver. The body was submerged in the waters of
Finches Run, just off the Fairview road about one mile from Barrackville. Broken glass was found on the road just above
the spot where the body was found.
Yeager said Snider was last seen
leaving a tavern with a number of bottles of beer. When he failed to report for work at the
Barrack mine yesterday, fellow employes set out to
look for him.
Marion County Prosecuting Attorney
Harrison Conaway has called for a coroner's inquest.

Jonesboro Man Is Killed In
Collision
Three Marion Men Injured in
Auto-Truck Wreck Saturday
ALEXANDRIA -- Melvin Thomas Voland, 23, West Sixth Street, Jonesboro, was killed
instantly and three others, all of Marion, were injured, one seriously, in an
automobile-truck collision at 3:30 a.m. Saturday at the intersection of Ind. 28
and 9, one mile north of here. Poor visibility, drizzling rain and slippery
pavement were blamed for the collision of the two vehicles.
State and Alexandria police
said the others injured were as follows:
Donald Medlin, 2212 S. Adams
St., who suffered a shoulder injury, was taken to St. John's Hospital in
Anderson and released; Claude Stevens, 3202 S. Landis St., head, chest and leg
injuries, taken to St. John s Hospital, condition
serious.
James Mark, Jr., 25, of 924
S. McClure St., fractured ribs and shock, taken to Marion General Hospital.
An investigation by
authorities revealed the convertible in which Voland
and the Marion men were riding was headed east on Ind. 28, and it was involved
in a collision with a truck, owned by the Commercial Motor Freight Service of
Indianapolis and operated by Fred D. Smith, South Bend, who was en route north on Ind. 9. He was uninjured.
According to the reports, the
driver of the convertible which was owned by Voland
but was not being operated by him at the time of the accident, apparently
stopped and then drove on, directly into the path of the large truck, loaded
with generators. All occupants of the convertible were thrown out of the car
through the canvas top.
In an effort to avoid the
crash, Smith turned his truck sharply, causing it to jacknife
[sic] and overturn after the crash.
Stevens was pinned under the truck
and was there for some time before he could be extricated. Others in the
convertible landed on the pavement, authorities said. Voland
was riding on the right side of the car, where force of the impact was
centered.
Madison County coroner
officials said Voland suffered a crushed skull,
chest, pelvis and shoulders, and his legs and arms were broken.
Voland formerly served in the U.S. Marine Corps and had been
employed at the Anaconda Wire and Cable Corp.
A native of Grant County, Voland was a graduate of Van Buren High School and attended
Freemont Grade School. Shortly after graduation from high school, he enlisted
in the Marine Corps and served a year in China and a year in Korea as a
corporal with a medical unit. He was discharged in October,1951, and since that
time was employed in the braiding department at the Anaconda Wire and Cable Co.
Survivors include the
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Voland, Jonesboro: three
sisters, Mrs. Veldah Trosper,
Hartford City, Mrs. Joyce Turner, Gas City, and Nancy Louise at home; one
brother Walter W. Voland, now with the Air Force in
Cheyenne, Wyo.; and the maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Yuba Johns,
