Monroe
Co. Car Crash Kills Three In Family
Driver, 40, and Baby Also Hurt
Woodsfield---
A twelve-year-old Monroe county girl, her mother and her grandmother were
fatally injured Sunday morning seven miles east of here on Ohio 78 when the
church-bound family's auto slammed into a rock at the bottom of a hill on a
sharp curve, Sheriff Homer Antill said.
The victims, the county's first traffic fatalities this year, were Joy Ellen Mellott, her mother, Freda, 36, and Mrs. Mellott's mother, Mrs. Laura Howell, 69, all of Woodsfield Rt, 4.
The girl and her grandmother died at the scene, and Mrs. Mellott
was pronounced dead on arrival at Barnesville general hospital.
Mrs. Mellott's husband, Ray, 40, driver of the death
car, and their 17-month-old daughter, Bonnie, were also seriously hurt. Their
condition was listed as "fair" at the Barnesville hospital.
The crash occurred at 9:45 a.m. DST, Antill said.
According to Antill, Mr. Mellott's
brakes failed on the Hurd's Run hill. He was unable to shift the auto into a
lower gear, the sheriff said. The machine left the highway at the bottom of the
hill, struck the rock on the right, and flipped over before wedging in a steep
ravine 50 feet away.
Antill said a woman was killed on the same curve
about seven years ago.
Mellott and his family were en
route to church at Cameron when the wreck occurred.
Ray Mellott suffered chest injuries and possible head
injuries in the wreck. Bonnie Mellott received a
broken collarbone and scratches and bruises.
The Mellott car was totally demolished, the front end
being pushed back into the front seat and the top being crushed down about 18
inches.
A passing motorist saw the car in the ravine and drove to the nearest phone to
call authorities.
The bodies of Mrs. Mellott, her daughter, and Mrs. Mellot's mother, Mrs. Howell, were taken to the Turner and
Bauer funeral home in Woodsfield where arrangements are incomplete.

Coroner Returns
Verdict
In Fatal
Shooting Here
A verdict that Donnie Ray Myers, 14
years old, of Linton, was killed accidentally Thursday afternoon by a blast
from a shotgun in the hands of his brother, Larry Dean, 12, was returned today
by Delmar Hasler, Greene county coroner.
The shooting occurred about 1:30
o'clock Thursday afternoon in a small shed that is located on property owned by
Elvis Walker, between Fifth street northwest and the Milwaukee railroad tracks,
about two blocks north of state road 54.
Investigators included Linton police, State
Police Detective Sgt. Joe Feeney and Greene County Sheriff Jack Blakely.
The officers reported that the younger
Myers boy first told them that he and his brother had purchased the shotgun
that did the final shooting from "an old man in West Linton for $5."
Changes His
Story
Later, however, he changed his story and
told the officers that he and his brother had gone to the home of Bill Beatty,
who lives alone in a small house a few hundred yards away. He said that he waited outside while his
brother entered the Beatty residence and took the shotgun.
He said that he and his brother played
with the shotgun and then took it to the shed, which is used as a
"play-house" by children of the neighborhood.
Larry Dean said that Donnie Ray laid
down on an old wicker settee in the shed and that he was playing with the gun
when his "finger slipped on the trigger" and it discharged. The charge from the gun struck the older boy
on the left side of the head, killing him instantly.
The officers said that the old single-shot
12 gauge shotgun probably had not been fired for several years.
The police said that they had no doubts
that Larry Dean was telling the truth, since the position of the boy's body
bore out his story.
Donnie Ray was born at Linton on July
18, 1943, the son of Norval and Alma Mae Miller
Myers. He attended the Linton-Stockton
Elementary school and had been promoted into the Sixth grade at the conclusion
of the last term.
He attended the Olive Branch Baptist
church.
He is survived by the parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Norval Myers; seven brothers, Orval G. Myers of
Linton rural route, Eugene Myers of Pendleton, and Earl R., Kenneth L, Donnie* [sic]
Ray (a twin to the deceased), Larry D. and Dannie E. Myers, all at home;
three* step-brothers, Roy Dyer of Indianapolis, and Bobby L. Miller of
Vandalia, Ohio; two sisters, Mrs. Shirley A. Glascloe
[sic--Glascoe] of Dayton, Ohio and Mrs. Mary E.
Killian of Vandalia, Ohio, and two grandmothers, Mrs. Cora A. Myers and Mrs.
Ada B. Miller, both of Linton route three.
Two brothers and one sister preceded him in death.
The boy's body was taken to the Welch
and Cornett Funeral home, and was later removed to the home of the brother,
Orval Myers, in West Linton, where, it was announced, friends may call.
Funeral services will be held at the
Orval Myers residence at 2:00 o'clock Saturday afternoon, with Rev. Donald
McClintock officiating, and burial will be made in the Old Linton cemetery.
