Not in recent years, if
ever, was news of a death received more as a surprise and shock than that of
the death of Judge T. J. Kremer Monday afternoon, January 14, 1951, about 2
o’clock. He had been in his usual health and held a session in Common pleas
Court from 9:00 to 9:45 in the forenoon.
At the conclusion of his
work, he began to feel uncomfortable and hurried across the street to his home.

heart attack resulted in his death a few hours later. He was the last member of
his family.

On November 28, 1905, Mr.
Kremer was united in marriage with Miss Eloise Weisend at Woodsfield where they

Mrs. John Myers, Everett West and Mrs. Jessie Markley,
residents of Moundsville, met death in an automobile crash on Route 2 near
Natrium Sunday morning. Mrs. Myers was
killed almost instantly; Mr. West died
at 9:30 Sunday night; and Mrs. Markley passed away in the Wetzel county hospital
on Monday. John Myers, husband of Mrs.
Myers; Mildred West, wife of the dead man, and Henry Markley and Donald Rine
were all taken to the Wetzel county hospital.
On the death of Mrs. Markley, the husband, Henry Markley, was removed to
the Glendale hospital.
It is reported that the deaths followed a car-truck crash
on the highway 18 miles south of Moundsville near the Wetzel county line, and
all seven persons were in the car driven by Myers.
The crash was described in this manner. Alvan Corkram of Wheeling had skidded off
the road in his car which was going north.
He telephoned for aid and was being towed back to the highway by a heavy
truck laden with bricks, which was operated by Franklin S. Jochum of Rd. 2,
Wheeling. The truck was on the east
side of the highway and the driver had alighted, police said, when the car
driven by Myers appeared suddenly and crashed head on. Aid was summoned from New Martinsville and

demolished car. Both Corkram and Jochum
hurriedly stepped aside and escaped injury.
