Man electrocuted when
truck hits lines
A Zanesville man was killed Friday when
the dump truck he was operating at Simco Peabody Inc.'s Broken Aro Mine on
County Road 6 came into contact with power lines, according to news release
from the Coschocton County Sheriff''s Department.
According to the release, Raymond L.
Harper, 41, apparently was electrocuted at about 2 p.m. when the raised bed of
his dump truck struck Simco Peabody power lines carrying 12,500 volts of
electricity.
Harper was driving a truck owned by
Marple Brothers Trucking of Zanesville and was dumping dirt. Fire destroyed the truck.
In a written statement to deputies,
Mike R. Swingle of Crooksville, who was driving another truck at the scene,
said that after Harper's truck struck the power lines, Harper, who was in the
truck, opened his door and grabbed the lever that lowers the truck bed.
Swingle said he thought Harper then
jumped to the ground, but Sheriff Deputy David Wilson, who was the first
officer at the scene, told The Tribune he believes this is when Harper was
electrocuted. He said Harper was thrown
10-15 feet.
Harper probably did not know an
electrical current was running through the truck, Wilson said. According to him, it is possible Harper did
not think the power lines were functional.
The Coshocton Emergency Squad
transported Harper to Coshocton County Memorial Hospital, where he was
pronounced dead on arrival, a CCMH official said. She said Harper's body has been released to
Bryan Funeral Home of Zanesville.
Firefighters from the Conesville and
South Tuscarawas fire departments extinguished the fire that destroyed the
truck, a 1972 Ford. Coshocton County
REACT also was on the scene, according to deputies.
Wilson said he was told by a Simco
Peabody official that Federal Mine Safety personnel will be notified of the
incident because it happened on Simco Peabody property.

car wreck
kills man
James A. Hinton, 26, of Lowell Rt. 2*
was killed following a one-car accident at 7:45 p.m. Wednesday on Washington
County 60, Adams Twp., according to a dispatcher at the Ohio Highway Patrol.
Hudson was the only person in the car.
Tarcella Hendershot, Marietta Memorial
Hospital nursing shift supervisor, said this morning Hinton was dead on arrival
at Memorial. He was transported to the
hospital by the Lowell Emergency Squad.
The dispatcher reported that Hinton was
going east on Washington County 60 when he drove off the left side of the road
and struck several pilings, which caused the vehicle to overturn. Hinton was not ejected from the heavily
damaged car.
The accident, which still is under
investigation, occurred in a relatively straight stretch of road, but it was
foggy and roads were damp, the dispatcher said.
A blood test will be taken, but it will be awhile before the results are
known, the dispatcher said.
Hinton was not swearing a seat belt
when the accident occurred, the dispatcher said.

James R.
Stephen Dies
by CORA
HUCKINS
and MARGIE SCHLAGETER
DAYTONA
BEACH -- A stock car racing enthusiast, sportsman and area businessman
who was actively involved in civic and political affairs, James R. Stephen,
owner of the former Stephens Pontiac, died Sunday in his home, 19 Elizabeth
Lane, after a lengthy illness. He was
68.
Mr. Stephen was a member of the board
of directors of Sun Bank of Volusia County since his appointment in October
1965, when it was Commercial Bank. Hank
Coleman, president and chief executive officer of Sun Bank, when contacted
Sunday, said, "Jim surely will be
missed, especially within our organization.
He was one of our guiding forces."
Mr. Stephen's interest and involvement
in stock car racing dates back many years.
He was a member of the board of the International Speedway Corp. and
sponsored Fireball Roberts in his early days of racing along with many other
drivers. In 1962 he sponsored the No. 22
Pontiac, which won the Daytona 500, driven by Roberts and prepared by Smokey
Yunick. Roberts died in a racing
accident in July 1964.
Bill France Jr., president and chief
executive officer of International Speedway Corp. said of Stephen, "He was
a great friend of the Speedway corporation and as a board member, his superb business
judgment made a great contribution to the speedway. He was a fair man and a leading businessman
in our community, who has been actively involved in civic and political
activities. He was very civic
minded."
Although he never ran for office Mr.
Stephen took part in the local, state and national democratic political
scene. He and E. William Crotty,
chairman of the executive committee of the Democratic National Committee, and
the board of directors, were aligned politically and in various business
ventures. "Jim was just a class guy," Crotty said Sunday.
The two were frequent guests at the
White House, according to Crotty, and were among those invited as guests of
President and Mrs. Carter to the swearing in ceremony when Edmund Muskie became
secretary of state.
Mr. Stephen was on Mondale's national
finance board during his campaign for the U.S. presidency.
Born in Summerfield, Ohio, Mr. Stephen
came here in 1949 from Fort Lauderdale, where he was in the automobile business. He bought and operated the Pontiac dealership
as Stephens Pontiac. His nephew, Ray
Ferguson entered the business in 1966, at which time it became known as
Stephens Ferguson Pontiac and Mercedes.
In 1975, Ferguson bought out his uncle.
Mr. Stephen at one time was one of the
country's leading General Motors distributors with dealerships in Baltimore,
Atlanta and Daytona Beach.
Mr. Stephen was a member of
Westminister by the Sea Presbyterian Church and served on the building
committee when the church was built.
He served on numerous other boards and
was active in a large number of other organizations.
Survivors include his wife, Lana; a
son, James Jr., Daytona Beach; two daughters, Diane Brown, Lake Forest, Ill.,
and Susan Graham, Atlanta; two granddaughters; two sisters, Geneva Ferguson,
Ormond Beach, and Emma Besancon, Milford, Mich.; and two brothers, Richard,
Willington [sic ? -Wellington], and George H., Fort Lauderdale. Haigh Black, Daytona Beach, is in charge.

obituary of Joanne in 1996, her survivors include "three sons, Robert
Dillon of Florida, William Dillon of Marysville and David Arnold of Marysville"
so perhaps the David Dillon listed here is David Arnold. No son is listed as deceased in either
obituary. Below is a funeral notice.
