Heavy   Rain   Factor   in   Rural

Crash   Fatal   to   Local   Woman

        Nelline Sue Burch, 48, Route 12, was killed this morning in a two-car collision on Road 650E at Road 100S.

        Mrs. Burch, who resided on Elizabeth Street in Eastridge Manor, worked afternoons and evenings as a part-time district route manager in the circulation department at The Republic.

        Emergency Medical Technicians with Medic 1 said Mrs. Burch died on the way to Bartholomew County Hospital, but doctors in the emergency room tried for 15 minutes to save her life.  She suffered leg, head and abdominal injuries in the accident.

        Shelia Moenning,* 635 Jackson Park Drive, Seymour, driver of the other car, suffered cuts, bruises and head injuries.  She was taken by Athens Ambulance to the emergency room where she was being treated this morning.

        The accident occurred about 8:20 a.m. today in a heavy rain storm.

        Bartholomew County Sheriff's Deputy Keith Foster, who investigated, said Mrs. Burch was driving south on Road 650E and stopped at a stop sign at Road 100S.  He said she pulled out into the path of the other car which struck the Burch vehicle on the driver's side door.

        Foster said Mrs. Burch was trapped behind the wheel of her car for 15 minutes.  They said they used their "jaws of life" to free her.

        Foster said visibility at the intersection normally is good but that heavy rain at the time and the gray color of the Moenning vehicle could have contributed to the accident.  "There wasn't anything either driver could do to avoid the collision once she pulled out into the intersection," Foster said.

        Mrs. Burch was born May 17, 1931.  She formerly was assistant manager of the Diana Shop which was in downtown Columbus.

        She attended school in Washington, Ind., and was graduated from the high school there in 1948.

        She is survived by her husband, Elmer, who works at Reliance Electric Co., and a daughter, Mrs. Sandra Moir of Columbus.

*Submitter's Note:  In another obituary published in the Seymore [Indiana] Tribune on July 14, 1979, the name of the other driver is given as Shelia FISH, age 25.  (The funeral notice is below)

4     drownings     over     weekend

by Sandi Collins, Times Staff Writer

        Drownings during weekend claimed the lives of a brother and a sister in a Warren Township pond and two people in the Ohio River.

        Argie Hall Jr., 14, and his sister, Donna Jean Hall, 13, of Marietta Rt. 4, had tied themselves together with a rope to go frog-gigging Friday in a neighbor's pond when one of them got in too deep and dragged the other to death, reported the Washington County Sheriff's Department.

        Matthew Newbanks, 15 of Little Hocking Rt. 1, and Johnny Harold Barnhart, 26, of Guysville Rt. 1 drowned early Sunday morning when a boat overturned in the Ohio River near Mustapha Island below Parkersburg.

        The parents of the brother and sister had notified the sheriff's department about 7 p.m. Friday that the teenagers had been missing from the home since about 2 p.m.  Their bodies were recovered from a pond on the nearby Hann* property about 9:45 p.m. by the Warren emergency squad.  They were pronounced dead at the scene by Washington County coroner Kenneth Owen, who ruled death by asphyxiation.

        The other victims apparently were picked up by a flat-bottom aluminum boat containing Barry Russell and J* Ann Dotson, both of Coolville, and were heading to a party on an island between Wood County, W. Va., and Athens County when the boat overturned and capsized, said the Wood County Sheriff's Department.  Dotson and Russell swam to safety, but Newbank and Barnhart couldn't make it, the sheriff's department said.  Newbank's body was pulled from the water a short time later, but it was five hours until Barnhart's body was recovered.

        Dr. Charles Barnhart, Wood County coroner, ruled the deaths were due to drowning.

Submitter's Notes:

        *The last letter in the right hand column of my copy of this obituary was cut off all the way down.  Most of the words were obvious, but since these two were names, I cannot be sure.  I am guessing that the first sliced-off word was Hanna and the second Jo.
