                              It needs must be since he lingers there.

                              Think of him still as the same, I say,

                              He is not dead. He is just away.

Kenneth Jarboe Death Due To Leaking Gas

Body returned and funeral services held Monday

        The body of Kenneth Jarboe, 24, was returned to Tell City from Honolulu Saturday.  Funeral services were held at 2 pm Monday at the First United church of Christ.  The Rev. H. G. Lippert, church pastor, officiated.  Burial was in Greenwood cemetery.  Active Navy personnel from the U.S. Navy recruiting station in Evansville served as pallbearers and a color guard at the funeral service.  Word of his death was sent to his family Sunday, Jan 18 by the U.S. Navy.

        Jarboe, a member of the U.S. Navy band stationed at Pearl Harbor Naval Base, died Saturday, Jan 17 of asphyxiation from gas fumes in the home of his close friends, Mr. and Mrs. Fred K. Stratton.  Navyman Stratton served as the official escort from the Hawaiian Islands to Tell City.  The body was at Finch funeral home until noon Monday.

        Stratton said that Kenneth had been teaching night classes in English at the naval base in Honolulu on weekends.  He usually spent the night in their home.  He said the leaking gas from a refrigerater would have also asphyxiated him and Mrs. Stratton if it hadn’t been for a door separating the sleeping quarters.  Stratton is from Cincinnati.  He and Kenneth have been friends since they entered the Navy service nearly two years ago.  They attended Navy music school together in Washington D.C. and were separated only about six weeks during their transfer to Pearl Harbor.

Thomas     Meade     Dies     Under     House     Trailer

        Thomas G. Meade, 19, of 3088 1/2 Road F died Saturday afternoon as a house trailer under which he was working slipped off its jack and crushed him.

        He was found between a half and three-quarters of an hour after the accident happened at the Trailer Home Rental & Sales Co., 2485 U.S. Highway 6-50.

        Meade, an employe for the past three weeks at the trailer firm, had taken one wheel off the trailer, and failed to place a block behind the other wheel.  The trailer slipped back about a foot and came off the jack, pinning his body to the ground.

        According to fellow employes, the accident happened about 3 p.m. when Meade went into the yard to take the wheel and tire off the trailer.

        Jim Houde, who was plastering and putting up a sign on the premises, went through the yard to get lumber for a scaffold and saw what had happened.

        A fire department rescue squad composed of Gene Thye, Hoyt Brown and Wes Painter worked over Meade for about an hour, using four tanks of oxygen and sending for another which was partially used.  A physician pronounced Meade dead.  The coroner's office investigated and termed the death accidental.

        Meade is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Meade; a brother, Conrad Meade; and a sister, Huella Mason, all of this area.  Services are pending at the Martin Mortuary.

        * July 6, 1959, is the date  penciled on the obituary I was given.  However, the 6th is in conflict with Ohio, Deaths, 1908-1932, 1938-1944, & 1958-2007 that gives his date of death as July 13, 1959.  July 13 is a Monday which is his day of death in the first paragraph of this obituary.  Perhaps the correct obituary date was July 16?  Or perhaps the Ohio Death Index was wrong.  Either way, there is a conflict.

Heater Set

As Cause

of Death

Mrs. Robert Price

Felled by Gas

While Visiting

        NEW CUMBERLAND -- A young New Cumberland area woman died and two other persons were hospitalized early today after being overcome by fumes from a faulty gas heater.

        Dead on arrival at Weirton General Hospital at 3:30 a.m. was 20-year-old Sondra Marlene Hoffman Price of RD 2, New Cumberland, a bride of only 10 months.

        In "fair" condition at the hospital are Judy Jones, 19, a friend of the victim, and Miss Jones' stepfather, Denver Turley, 42, both of 204 N. River Ave., New Cumberland.  Both were unconscious when they arrived at the hospital, but are responding to treatment, hospital attendants reported.

Found on Floor

        According to authorities, the fume victims were found lying on the living room  floor of the Turley home around 3 a.m. by Mrs. Cora Turley when she returned from work at the Town and Country Restaurant where she is a waitress.

        New Cumberland Police Chief and Constable, Joseph Manypenny, who headed the investigation, said Mrs. Turley immediately notified the Hancock County sheriff's office here.  The victims were rushed to the hospital by ambulance.

Husband in Service

        Manypenny reported that the trio was apparently overcome by fumes from a faulty gas heater which was located in the living room of the Turley residence.  Mrs. Price, who was married to Robert Lee Price, presently stationed at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, was visiting the Turley home, Manypenny said.

        The constable reported the Turley home was filled with gas fumes when he entered to investigate the accident.  Mrs. Price, the Jones girl and her stepfather were fully clothed, he said.

Investigation Completed

       Mr. Manypenny said the investigation of the incident was complete.  Assisting him in the investigation were Sgt. Edward Sikora and Ptlm. Larry Blinco of the Weirton Police Department; Hancock Deputies, Arnie Durham and Louis Torchio; and New Cumberland Fire Chief Jack Wigner.

        Mrs. Price, born Nov. 7, 1939 in New Cumberland, is survived by her husband, Robert Lee Price; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Merle Hoffman of RD 2, New Cumberland; two sisters, Carol Hoffman of Long Island, N. Y. and Elizabeth Merrill Hoffman, at home; one brother, Richard Hoffman at home; her maternal grandmother, Mrs. Alice Z. Staley of New Cumberland and her maternal grandfather, William N.

Young, John W. Young

         John W. Young was born on May 29, 1870, near Lewisville, Ohio.  He was a son of Fred and Eva Pfeiffer Young and was the last surviving member of a family of eight children.  He passed away at the home of his niece and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Weber, on Lewisville, Route 2, on October 13, 1959.  At the time of death he was 89 years, four months and sixteen days of age.

          In younger manhood he spent the winters in Southern states because of ill health.  In 1924 he married Zella Baxter, of Joelton, Tennessee, and established his home there.  She preceded him in death in 1932.  In 1934 he married Salome Buchli who passed away on May 18 of this year [1959].

          In June he was brought back to Ohio by nieces and nephews who faithfully cared for him until the end.

          In childhood he was baptized and confirmed into the Evangelical and Reformed faith and became a faithful Christian, teaching a men's Bible class for many years.  In spite of his advanced years, he was interested in world-wide news, sports and the activities of those dear to him.

Johannes (John) Jung/Young was born on May 29, 1870.  This comes from the German Church records translated by Dr. Shirley Harmon.  There is no information regarding baptism in these records.

          Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Varns at the Lewisville Church, of which he was a member, on October 17th.  He was laid to rest in the chruch cemetery.

          Those who loved him will remember his humble faith and kind disposition.

 

          Like a ship that's lost its anchor

          and drifts gently out to sea;

          So our dear one just slept away,

          To calm eternity.

 .

The family wishes to thank all those who helped in any way and those who sent floral offerings.  We shall always be grateful.           NIECES and NEPHEWS
