Collision With Freighter Upends Car at Cranesville

An automobile, owned and driven by Mrs. Regina Bylebyl, 339 Forest Avenue, accompanied by three passengers, was struck by a tractor trailer on Route 5 in Cranesville opposite the Tower Inn shortly before 8 o'clock this morning, and after turning over at least twice, the occupants believe, came to a stop on its top off the highway so badly damaged that witnesses viewing the unconscious women within the wreck could only say, "How many are dead?"
...As the Amsterdam car neared the point of the accident, Alfred J. Hungerschafer, Jr, 221 Locust Avenue, was coming west with one passenger. Both were returning from their night's work in the General Electric Company, Schenectady.
Hungerschafer's car sideswiped the car driven by Mrs. Bylebyl, which caused him to slow down. As he did so the driver of a west-bound tractor trailer, William Luke, Brewerton, N.Y., applied his brakes to avoid collision with Hungerschafer's car. This caused the tractor trailer to swerve into the lane of east bound traffic, and to strike the Bylebyl car, which was thrown from the highway, to come to a stop on its top, and according to several persons who saw it, damaged beyond possibility of repair

Saratoga's Call of the Wildy

William Hungerschafer
William Hungerschafer, a resident of Scotia, used to be a friend of ours when he was just a trooper assigned to the Malta State Police Barracks. We haven't seen him for a long time, and we hear he recently was promoted to the rand of technical sergeant (that's five stripes, boy) with the traffic control division down on the State Campus.
As far as we know, Willie is still a young man, and that is quite an accomplishment, but it will never match his greatest one. It all happened several years ago when we were with this newspaper during a different era. It was my practice to send out invitations to both Malta and South Glens State Police Barracks, as well as the local PD and fire departments, that any man who could get away would be invited to my home for Thanksgiving dinner.
One year, Trooper Hungerschafer showed up at 3 p.m. and partook. But, from soup to nuts. When I wanted him to stay longer, he admitted he had to go to the Rexford Country Club, where he was also invited to a full Thanksgiving dinner. When all the truth was finally known, he had been to his own home before arriving at mine. In other words, three complete turkey dinners. All this in the space of five hours. (Now, I ask you. Is there anyway a civilian can get a cop for driving after eating three turkey dinners? I wanna nail this guy, this technical sergeant, so help me I do)

On June 22, 1987 George McAuliff (aged 44 years), who was born May 4, 1943 and served as a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War, died in Amsterdam [SSAN: 083-34-3173].

On April 15, 1998 Ann Hungerschafer (aged 82 years), who was born February 11, 1916, died and was buried at Fair View in Amsterdam [SSAN: 069-05-7053].

Death Notice
Gene Agresta, Amsterdam
Gene Agresta, 70, of Stewart Street, Amsterdam lost a two year battle with cancer early Saturday morning, February 18, 2012, at St. Mary's Hospital in Amsterdam, with his loving family at his side.
Born in Amsterdam, NY on May 22, 1941, son of the late Raymond and Dolly Bianchi Agresta, he was a lifelong resident of Amsterdam and a 1959 graduate of the former Wilbur H. Lynch High School. He also attended the former University of Southern Mississippi.
Gene was employed for exactly 42 years at the General Electric Co. in Schenectady, mainly as a welder, until retiring in 2010. He was a communicant of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Amsterdam.
He married Sharon Hungerschafer on October 4, 1964. In addition to his beloved wife he is survived by four cherished sons, Michael A. (Laura) of Lake George, NY, and Eugene B. Jr. (Maria Harris), Joseph P. (Karen), and Anthony J. (Cassie), all of Amsterdam. He is also survived by his dear sister, Connie Dulysz of Amsterdam; two beloved grandchildren, Adam and Nicholas Agresta, and loved one Maddox. Sister-in-law, Virginia Agresta, sister-in-law, Shirley McAuliff and sister-in-law, Sandy (Butch) Greco, along with several nieces, nephews and cousins also survive.
Gene was predeceased by his brother, Raymond "Pucky" Agresta, on July 26, 1998.
Although his family was first in his heart, Gene's second love was baseball. His talent and drive made him an All-Star selection in 1959 and 1960 when he played in the nationally-known AAABA tournament in Johnstown, PA. He also played for the former Amsterdam Rugmakers. Gene was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan until the team left New York, and soon after he adopted the New York Mets.
Gene was able to combine his two passions by watching each one of his sons play baseball. He never missed a game. In his later years, he found great pleasure in traveling with his sons and grandsons to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA.
A Funeral Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 11:15 a.m. at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, East Main St. in Amsterdam.
