A Johnstown, Ohio, couple, formerly of Monroe County, parents
of eight children, were instantly killed shortly before
Victims of the crash were: Wayne Frum, 52, a car loader at the
Columbus Coated Fabrics Corp., and his wife, Mrs. Virginia Dougherty Frum, 46.
They resided at Route 1, near Johnstown, where they moved to a farm home about
six months ago from Columbus.
The train, on Big Four tracks with a Big Four pilot,
apparently struck the rear end of the automobile. The wreckage was carried
about 75 feet south of the crossing, then rolled down an embankment.
Both bodies were thrown from the car by the impact. Frum’s
body was found near the wreckage and his wife’s about 30 feet down the tracks.
One of her shoes was found near the wreckage, and the other 20 feet from her
body.
The crossing has no watchman or flasher lights, but there is a
clear view approaching from the east. The couple had driven across the
Pennsylvania tracks, on the easterly side of the double grade crossing, and
were struck as they started over the Big Four right-of-way.
Frum suffered a broken neck, fractured skull and internal
injuries, and his wife a crushed skull, internal hemorrhages and multiple
fractures.

There are ten grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
During her entire married life and the quarter of a century
since the death of her husband, she and members of the family were and still
are associated with public life in various capacities. She was always
interested and sympathetic yet she confined her personal interest to making her
home the sanctuary it was intended to be, not only for the family whom it
sheltered but for relatives and scores of friends who enjoyed its hospitality
through the years.
Whether renowned or humble, the friends and guests were
received with the fine hospitality of a great mother and true friend and all
received a cordial welcome.
With childhood memories of the Civil War and more mature
recollections of the Spanish-American conflict, wars reality touched her
through her sons as it did thousands of other mothers in World War I and her
grandsons in World War II. For many years she held membership in the Legion
Auxiliary Unit, this interest being intensified when her son Herbert was
Department Commander of the American Legion. This membership and that in the
Methodist Church, the latter covering a period of 76 years, constituted her
organized contacts with society. But individual and personal ministrations were
numerous, and varied, many being revealed to members of the family by those who
paid their respects to her memory at the time of her death.
While not in rugged health for some time, her serious illness
followed a stroke of paralysis suffered a few days before her death. For about
a month she had been confined to her bed as a result of a fall in her room.
Funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon in
charge of her present and former pastors, Rev. W. M. Miller and Rev. Leroy C.
Henne, who read favorite Scripture texts and hymns and spoke briefly of her
personal interest in the welfare of her church, family and friends.
Interment was in the family plat in Oaklawn cemetery by the
Galbraith funeral home.
Pall bearers were Billy and Harry Shaffer, John Mooney, Billy
Bertram, John Edmonds and Otto Jeffers.

she could minister. After the death of her husband she came here to make her
home with her daughter and here she has made many friends for to know her was
to love her. Early in life she became a Christian and united with the Deer

Methodist Church Thursday
In a fire Sunday afternoon
that destroyed the Ed Tuel home on the west edge of town and all its contents
and fatally burned Ed’s father, William, the Coon Rapids community suffered its
most severe fire loss in many months.
Mr. and Mrs. George Kern were
driving past the Tuel home on highway 141 just west of the fairgrounds when
they noted the side of the house on fire, stopped and alarmed the Tuel family,
who were in the house.
In attempting to move a five
gallon can of kerosene on the porch Ed Tuel upset it, adding fuel to the flame
which spread to a quantity of fuel oil which quickly engulfed the small frame
dwelling in flames.
The elder Tuel remembered
some money in the house and tried to go in and get it but in the attempt was
badly burned and although rushed to St. Anthony’s Hospital at Carroll at once
died the next day from his injuries.
The Coon Rapids fire
department responded to the alarm promptly but the house was a mass of flames
when they arrived and the loss was complete including all the furniture and
other personal effects of the Tuel family.
The firemen prevented the
flames from spreading to other buildings just north of the dwelling.
Funeral services for William
Tuel were held at the Methodist church Thursday afternoon with the pastor, the
Rev. Eugene Alexander, in charge.
Miss Eleanor Rippey and Miss
Patricia Williams sang "Ivory Palaces" and "Softly and
Tenderly" with Miss Dorothy Alexander playing the accompaniment.
Casket bearers were Lox
Conner, Pat Carroll, Wm. Hupp, Fred Kennedy, Henry Schultz, and Dick Sigler.
Interment was in the Oak Hill cemetery.
The life sketch as read by
the Rev. Alexander follows:
William Henry, youngest son
of William Henry and Margaret Knight Tuel, was born in Carroll county, Iowa,
March 14, 1876. Mr. Tuel was badly burned when his son Edward’s home was
destroyed by fire Sunday, February 11, 1946. Though rushed immediately to St.
Anthony’s Hospital at Carroll he passed away Monday afternoon at about 2:30.
His age was 69 years, 10 months and 27 days.
Mr. Tuel followed the
vocation of farming and except for seven years spent in Dallas county lived his
entire life in Carroll county.
He was united in marriage to
Bessie M. Blanchard at Coon Rapids in January 1896. She preceded him in death
in 1906. To this union five children were born: Vernie of Glidden, Sylvia Young
of Des Moines, Mrs. Clarence Hupp of Coon Rapids, Paul of Cambridge, Minn., and
Edward E. of Coon Rapids. Besides these five children he is survived by ten
grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Also surviving are two brothers;
