Sad and sudden was the call,
Of one , so dearly loved by all;
A bitter grief, a shock severe,
To part with one we loved so dear.

Not now, but in coming years,
It may be in the better land,
We’ll read the meaning of our tears,
And there sometime we’ll understand.

God knows the way, he holds the key,
He guides us with unerring hand;
Sometime, with tearless eyes, we’ll see
Yes, there, up there, we’ll understand.

“He has
gone home to that land,
At the Father’s right hand,
Where the prepared mansions now stand.
May we all heed the call of his beckoning
hand.”

During the last year when Mr. Christman was unable to go to
town for supplies his neighbors and friends helped him out considerably,
especially did he depend upon the faithful assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd
Weber, his closest neighbor.
All of those who knew Mr. Christman and visited him remember
his patience and faith in all of his conversation. Although he was unable to be
an active member of the Church during these past years, he remained a faithful
Christian thru his personal devotions and the inspiration from the Bible and
radio worship services. This past fall he wrote a request in a strong hand,
influenced some by the German script. The request was for the sacrament of
communion. After participation in Communion with his wife, he again received
the strength of the love and communion with his Master Christ. May God bless
all of those who remain faithful unto death.
The family and relatives wish to express their sincere
appreciation and thanks for all of the kindness and expressions of
neighborliness that have been shown toward Mr. William Christman and his

THREE OIL
MEN ELECTROCUTED AT

HOLD RITES
FOR THREE SHOCK
VICTIMS
Friends Keep Wife
of One Victim from Going To Scene of Tragedy
A gloom of sadness came over the community of Chatham, late
Thursday afternoon, when it became known that three local men, all employees of
the Dymo Oil company, had been electrocuted during rigging operations at the
rear of the Long General store.
Killed instantly when 7200 volts of electricity passed
through them were Robert Lloyd Hall, 29; Emmett Cecil Sivard, 32, and Wayne
Kirkbride, 54.
The three had gone to pull pipe from an abandoned oil well
when a guy wire from a 30-foot metal pole used in the operations touched a high
tension wire almost directly over the well.
Stanley Long and son, Fred, were in the barn not more than
50 feet from the well, using an electric sander when the lights became dim and
they heard snapping of electricity.
Going outside they saw Hall lying on the ground near the well and
immediately sensed the tragedy.
They ran to the store a few feet away and called the Lodi
fire department. In the meantime Long
and a customer, Charles Jenkins, returned to the scene and found Kirkbride and
Sivard "frozen" to the guy wires.
At the same time George Kreiger, superintendent of the oil company, arrived
on the scene to see how his workers were getting along. He joined Long and Jenkins in using hoes and
rakes to free the two men.
DR. VICTOR Kolb of
Litchfield was on his way home from
Lodi Community hospital and had slowed down to allow the fire department to
pull into the Long place when he was hailed.
Efforts to revive the men were futile.
None of them was badly burned, and it is believed death was instantaneous.
The wife of one of the men happened to be walking in front
of the Long store a few moments after the tragedy occurred. A friend quickly took her in tow to keep her
from visiting the death scene.
Called to the place were Sheriff Charles W. Williams,
Deputy Steve Helli, Coroner Andrew Karson and the state highway patrol.
MR. HALL, a former resident of Lodi, had made his home in
Chatham the past year. A veteran of
World War II, he had served in both the European and Asiatic Theater of operations.
Rev. Louis Turner officiated at rites at the Parker funeral
home Monday afternoon with burial in Woodlawn cemetery, Lodi.
His survivors include a wife, Phyllis; two sons, Daniel
Lee, five years and Lawrence, two years; a daughter, Lois Sue four years;
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. William Hall of Chatham; seven brothers and
seven sisters, Mrs. Earl Meek of Chippewa Lake, Mrs. Kenneth Warner, Mrs.
Robert Ruff, Harold and William Jr. of Lodi, Wanda, Evelyn, Barbara, Ica,
Donald, Walter, Norman and Gary of the parental home, and Cpl. Ralph with the U.S.
Army in Missouri, and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. George Hall of Medina, Rt. 5,
and Mrs. Ica Myers of Mansfield.
SERVICES FOR Mr.
Sivard, a member of the Chatham V.F.W. post, were held Sunday afternoon at the Parker
funeral home in charge of Rev. Alonzo Todd of Brownhelm. Burial was in the Chatham cemetery.
He leaves a wife, Ruth; two daughters, Kathleen Lynn, two

mother, Mr. and Mrs. David Sivard of Rinard Mills, O.; three sisters, Mrs.
Myrtle Snider of Chatham, Mrs. Hazel Patton of Graysville and Mrs. Mary Cline

Ohio Child
Dies
In Auto Mishap
On Fish Creek
An Ohio child, 3-year-old James Meyers, Jr., was killed
about 6:45 o'clock Sunday evening in an automobile mishap near Slippery Ford
Bridge, Fish Creek, Marshall county....*
State police at Moundsville reported the Meyers child,
whose parents live in Euclid, O., was riding in a car with his father, when it
apparently went out of control, climbed a bank and turned over.
The father broken up over the boy's death was not able to
give details of the accident to investigating troopers. State police were not available for details
as they could not be reached by radio from either Moundsville or Co. 'A'
headquarters at Shinnston, presumably being out of their cars.
The area in which the accident occurred is well known for
its number of summer camps.
The father and son were brought to the Reynolds Memorial
hospital in another car. Hospital attaches
said the child was dead on arrival.
Justice Chester A. Burks was called in on the case by State
police as acting coroner. The justice
rendered a verdict of accidental death.
The body was removed to the Lutes funeral home, Second
street, Moundsville.

We will meet our Ernie there.

illness, always hopeful and cheerful and continued to be concerned with the

Jonesboro Man
Is Killed In
Collision
Three Marion
Men Injured in
Auto-Truck Wreck Saturday
ALEXANDRIA -- Melvin Thomas Voland, 23, West Sixth Street,
Jonesboro, was killed instantly and three others, all of Marion, were injured,
one seriously, in an automobile-truck collision at 3:30 a.m. Saturday at the
intersection of Ind. 28 and 9, one mile north of here. Poor visibility, drizzling rain and slippery
pavement were blamed for the collision of the two vehicles.
State and Alexandria
police said the others injured were as follows:
Donald Medlin, 2212 S. Adams St., who suffered a shoulder
injury, was taken to St. John's Hospital in Anderson and released; Claude
Stevens, 3202 S. Landis St., head, chest and leg injuries, taken to St. John’s
Hospital, condition serious.
James Mark, Jr., 25, of 924 S. McClure St., fractured ribs and
shock, taken to Marion General Hospital.
An investigation by authorities revealed the convertible in
which Voland and the Marion men were riding was headed east on Ind. 28, and it
was involved in a collision with a truck, owned by the Commercial Motor Freight
Service of Indianapolis and operated by Fred D. Smith, South Bend, who was en
route north on Ind. 9. He was
uninjured.
According to the reports, the driver of the convertible
which was owned by Voland but was not being operated by him at the time of the
accident, apparently stopped and then drove on, directly into the path of the
large truck, loaded with generators.
All occupants of the convertible were thrown out of the car through the
canvas top.
In an effort to avoid the crash, Smith turned his truck
sharply, causing it to jacknife [sic] and overturn after the crash.
Stevens was pinned under the truck and was there for some
time before he could be extricated.
Others in the convertible landed on the pavement, authorities said. Voland was riding on the right side of the
car, where force of the impact was centered.
Madison County coroner officials said Voland suffered a
crushed skull, chest, pelvis and shoulders, and his legs and arms were broken.
Voland formerly served in the U.S. Marine Corps and had
been employed at the Anaconda Wire and Cable Corp.
A native of Grant County, Voland was a graduate of Van
Buren High School and attended Freemont Grade School. Shortly after graduation from high school, he enlisted in the
Marine Corps and served a year in China and a year in Korea as a corporal with
a medical unit. He was discharged in
October,1951, and since that time was employed in the braiding department at
the Anaconda Wire and Cable Co.
Survivors include
the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Voland, Jonesboro: three sisters, Mrs. Veldah
Trosper, Hartford City, Mrs. Joyce Turner, Gas City, and Nancy Louise at home;
one brother Walter W. Voland, now with the Air Force in Cheyenne, Wyo.; and the
maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Yuba Johns, Jonesboro.
Services will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday in the Apostolic
Friends Church, south of Jonesboro, with the Rev. Jessie Craig, pastor,
officiating. Rev. Craig will be assisted by the Rev. Darrell Taggart of
Churubusco. Burial will be in the IOOF
