2-CLEARFIELD YOUTH
KILLED
Auto Hits South Branch
Train Engine
Two
teenage boys were killed and two seriously injured in a train-car crash Friday
evening, Oct. 14 about 8:30 P. M. eight miles north of Clearfield on highway
25.
Donnie
England, 16 and driver of the
car, which hit the side of the diesel locomotive, just back of the steps into
the cab--was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. [Ralph] Gene Jones, 15, riding in the front seat with Don, died after he was taken to the Creston hospital.
Occupants
of the back seat, Richard Cordell,
16, son of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Cordell and Mike Gaule, 15,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Gaule were seriously injured and were taken by ambulance to the Creston Hospital
where their condition is improving.
Richard suffered a ruptured lung, large deep cut on his
leg as well as other bruises.
Mike suffered a broken leg, severe
back injury, as well as internal injuries and bruises. He underwent surgery
Monday morning with further surgery to follow.
Donald
[Wayne] England was the son of Walter
[Warren] England and the late Dorothy
England. His death was due to
head and internal injuries--cuts and bruises.
[Ralph]
Gene Jones was making his home
with Mr. and Mrs. Everett Bolinger near Conway. He suffered a broken neck and internal injuries, cuts and bruises.
The
auto, a 1957 Oldsmobile was traveling north on highway 25 when it ran into the
side of the single diesel locomotive unit on the eight-car freight train bound
for Creston from St. Joe.
Highway
Patrolman said skid marks for about 270 feet indicated the boys saw the train
and attempted to stop, but were unable to do so--the engineer stated that the
jolt when the car hit the train, knocked him from his seat. He said he saw the
car approaching and applied the brakes on the train before the car hit the
engine.
In
attempting to stop, the skid marks indicated the car swerved to the left side
of the road, hitting the train at that location. The impact knocked the car to
the right, thus turning it around and when it came to a stop, it was facing the
south on the east side of the pavement, the rear of the car was damaged and the
gas tank was knocked from the car.
All
four youth were yet in the car when it came to a stop. Both boys who lost their
lives in this tragic accident will be so greatly missed by all who knew them. Donald was a junior and so full of fun and ready and
willing to give a helping hand to his fellow students and teachers. The part he
played in all school activities will be remembered by the entire student body.
Gene came to our school in September, enrolling as a
sophomore student. He made his home with the Bolinger family.
His
short stay here had gained him many friends and his ready smile and deep
appreciation for all the things his many friends did for him, will be
remembered by all.

He
married Mary Lou Votava on
Aug. 30, 1947 in Bedford, Iowa. To this union, three children were born, David

board. He was also a Calvary Go-Getter 4-H leader for several years and was the
current Grant Township trustee.

up spills, wiping runny or bloody noses, or wiping off muddy or greasy little
fingers.
