Everett Bauman
Burned to Death
In Truck Fire
Sterling Man
Pinned In Cab
In 3C Accident Tuesday
Funeral services were held this afternoon for Clarence
Everett Bauman, 25, truck driver of Sterling R. D., who was burned to death
early Tuesday in a truck accident on the 3C highway just south of Jackson. The Rev. Noah Hartzler was in charge of
services at the Murray Funeral Home in Creston. Burial was made in the Apostolic Cemetery here.
Bauman is survived by his mother, Mrs. Burdella Bauman of
Sterling; three brothers, Walter and William of Sterling and Forest* of Dayton;
two sisters, Mildred and Selma of Wooster.
Bauman and Lester Workman of N. Seneca st., Rittman, were
driving companion trucks of the John Klann Co. of Cleveland, loaded with
roofing and consigned to Dayton. They
had stopped at Sterling Tuesday morning and resumed the trip about 3 a.m. Just after the trucks turned south on the 3C
highway at Jackson, Bauman's truck, in the lead, began to pull off to the
right. It ran along the berm about 200
feet, ripped off about 40 feet of guard railing and posts, then pitched over an
embankment on the west side, overturned in a stream, with the top of the cab
buried in the water. The gasoline tanks
spilled gasoline over the truck and it immediately burst into flames.
Workman rushed to the scene as soon as he could, but was unable
to give Bauman any assistance in the flaming cab. The trucks were traveling 25 or 30 miles an hour at the time of
the accident. Bauman had been driving
for the company about five years.
He was well known in Rittman where he was a regular patron
for gasoline and truck supplies.
TRAGEDY SIDELIGHTS
Tragedy seems to be following the steps of Forrest* Bauman,
who returned to his mother's Mrs. Burdella Bauman's home from Wright Field at
Dayton, where he had been injured, and was with the family when his brother
Everett, met with a tragic and fatal automobile accident,** Tuesday morning,
south of Jackson.
Bauman was to have been married on Easter Sunday to Miss
Vivian Stout of Wooster, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. H. E. Stout of Damascus,
Ohio.
Submitter's Notes:
*This name was spelled two different ways in the
article–Forest and Forrest.
**This was a truck accident. No automobiles were involved.

Yet lives
through eternity.

Mrs. Edna Davis Rush, 22, of Sterling, Ohio, was
drowned Sunday evening [
The three had been visiting during the day at the home
of Mrs. Rush’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Davis of New Martinsville, and
started home about six o’clock. The car was run down the steep embankment to
the barge of the ferry, but for some reason the brakes refused to hold and the
car continued the length of the barge and plunged off the far end.
Martin was the first to free himself from the car, and
made his way to shore, little the worse for his experience. Virgil Rush next
fought his way to the surface and struck out for the shore, where he was rushed
to the Wetzel County hospital. He was suffering from shock and his condition
was listed as serious.
In the meantime efforts to get the car from the river
were successful and Mrs. Rush’s body was found still within it. Firemen and
police were called and made efforts to revive her, but they failed.
The remains were alter removed to the Rush funeral
establishment at Sardis.

HEART ATTACK
CAUSES DEATH
OF YOUNG GIRL
Many friends in this vicinity were greatly shocked and
grieved to learn of the sudden death early Sunday morning of Miss Vivian
Stephen, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Fred Stephen of southwest of
Bloomville. Although she had been in
poor health for a number of years and had been critically ill for a time last
year, her health had seemed to be improving of late, and her sudden death
caused by a heart attack came as a great shock to her family and friends.
Vivian had attended the basketball game in Bloomville
Friday evening. On Saturday evening her
mother and she made candy while the father and the brother came to Bloomville. She pulled taffy, listened to the radio,
made preparations to go to Sunday School the next morning and seemed to be in
best of spirits when she retired at a late hour Saturday night. She talked to members of her family as late
as one o'clock Sunday morning. About 1:20
a.m. they heard her groan and hastening to her bedside found her dead.
A girl of pleasing personality and cheerful disposition she
had many friends at school and in her Sunday School which she attended. Although she had been unable to attend school
for several years because of her health, she still retained her interest in the
junior class, of which she would have been a member had she been able to go on
with her education.
Vivian was born in Monroe County, Aug. 2, 1923. She is survived by her parents, and the
following brothers and sisters, Mrs. Lester G. Ferguson, Oklahoma City, Okla.;
Mrs. Ralph E. Besancon, Milford, Mich.; Richard and James, both of Pontiac,
Mich.; and Harmon, at home. She was a
member of the Bloomville Methodist church.
Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon in the
Bloomville Methodist church and were conducted by Rev. Wm. H. Sanders. A large number attended the funeral including
members of the Sunday School and school classes to which she belonged. Girls of the Sunday School class served as
pallbearers, and other members of the two groups took care of the flowers. Interment was in Union cemetery in New
Washington.
