Cochran, Gertrude Shaw –
Mrs. O. T.
Cochran was instantly killed when a car driven by her husband was struck by a
Great Western train near Council Bluffs, about 10 o’clock Wednesday
morning. Mr. Cochran made an effort to
avoid being struck, and swerved his car to one side, but too late. The car was badly wrecked but it was
necessary to tear away the top of the car to get the occupants out of the car.
Mr. Cochran
was seriously, perhaps fatally, injured. He received a broken arm, two broken legs, a fractured jaw, and a deep
cut on the head.
Mrs.
Cochran’s father, Rev. Christopher Shaw, of Mondale, was also critically
injured. His chest was badly crushed.
Mrs. Shaw
was not so seriously injured, although she had a bad scalp wound, and a
fractured jaw.
Warren, the
six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Cochran has a fractured skull. His condition is not considered critical.
Mr. and Mrs.
Cochran had gone to Mondale where Mrs. Cochran’s father had been preaching, to
attend his wedding. He was married at
Woodbine on Tuesday, and he with his bride, who was formerly Miss Mary
Jefferson of Mondale, , were returning to Lenox with
Mr. and Mrs. Cochran when the accident occurred.
News of the
accident reached Lenox in a much garbled form and we are indebted to the Omaha
World-Herald for the true facts as they very kindly furnished to us by telephone Wednesday afternoon.
The injured
folks are in a hospital in Council Bluffs now. No funeral arrangements have been made for Mrs. Cochran at this time.

Cochran,
Gertrude Shaw -
Funeral
services for Mrs. Gertrude Cochran are set for Wednesday,
November 27, at the Christian church at 2 o'clock. Interment will be made in the
Lenox cemetery.
Gertrude
Shaw, daughter of Christopher and Alice Ann Shaw, was born in Preston, Lancastire, England, April 4, 1894
and died in Council Bluffs, Iowa, November 20, 1929, at the age of 35 years.
When she was
19 years old she came with her parents to this country and they lived at
Stanhope, Iowa, for a short time, later moving to Lenox, where her father was
pastor of the Blue Grove Christian church. Early in life she became a member of
the church and her Christian character and sweet disposition won her many
friends.
She was
married to Orson Cochran, December 16, 1917 and to them was born one child,
Warren. Mrs. Cochran had been in delicate health for years and had suffered
much, but at the time of the accident, her health had begun to improve
O. P. Arnold
tells us that he visited Orson Cochran in the hospital at Council Bluffs this
week and found out some further details about the accident in which Mrs.
Cochran was killed.
Mr. and Mrs.
Cochran and Mr. and Mrs. Shaw were returning from Modale, la., to Lenox and passed through Council Bluffs. As
they were leaving town they stopped at a filling station to inquire about the
directions for following No. 34 out of town. A truck was passing by at the time
and the station attendant told Mr. Cochran to follow the truck as it was headed
for Red Oak and would follow
No. 34.
Mr. Cochran
followed the truck and while watching it did not observe that they were
approaching the railroad crossing. The truck driver was evidently trying to
beat the train to the crossing and succeeded but just as he got across
Mr. Cochran
saw the train approaching. He swerved his car sideways but struck a large
electric signal post set in the paving and this bounced his car onto the track
in the path of the train.
Mr. Arnold
saw the car. It was a new Ford Sedan and the front end of it was badly wrecked.
Two glasses in the body remained unbroken.
Mr. Cochran
and his son, Warren, are improving nicely and Rev. Shaw is also improving. The
two drainage tubes have been taken from Rev. Shaw's chest now.

Harvey
Lupton, 83, founder of the Lenox Time-Table, died at his home in Port Morgan,
Colo. at 6:25, Thanksgiving morning, November 28. He had been in poor health for several
seasons and had been confined to his bed for nearly four weeks.
Funeral services

Mr. Lupton
is survived by his, wife, Mrs. Lydia Lupton and a son, B. H. Lupton, a Fort
Morgan business man.
Another son, A. Sherman Lupton, lives at Muscatine, Iowa and a daughter, Mrs. Lena
Cook, resides at Hampton Iowa. Mr. Lupton had .several brothers and sisters but
all are dead now. The following facts of Mi Lupton's
life have been taken from a Fort Morgan newspaper:
Harvey
Lupton, son of Harvey and Rebecca Garrison Lupton was born April 27, 1846 in
Eastern Ohio near Mt. Pleasant. He
learned to be a printer and editor at Wheeling, W. V. and the occupation and
profession he learned at that place he pursued with success until retirement
several years ago.
Heeding the
call of the west that sang a song which the pioneer blood in his veins could
not deny, he went on to Iowa where he settled near What Cheer in 1865. On
September 13, 1865, he was united in marriage to Miss Sudie Adams of Somerton, Ohio. To this
marriage the son Sherman, and the daughter, Lena were born. Mrs. Lupton passed away at Lenox,
Iowa Jan. 21, 1881. On November 18,
1885, he was married to Lydia Buckmaster Lynch, at
Creston, and three years later the son, B. H. Lupton was born.
For a time
after he settled in Iowa he farmed near Deep River, but in 1874 he established
the Lenox Time-Table and the Bedford Times-Republican. In 1896 he moved with his family to
Clearfield, Iowa, where he conducted the Clearfield Enterprise for six years. The Blockton News
was the next newspaper to engage his editorial talents and he was the guiding
spirit of that paper until he came to Ft. Morgan 15 years ago.
During his
residence here he has been retired but at times has helped his son conduct his
business in this city.
Mr. Lupton
was born and raised in Quaker faith, He was a former
member of the Masonic lodge at Blockton, Iowa.
During his
active years in Iowa his editorial pen made itself felt in the formative years
of that state and his keen mind gained for him wide admiration and respect.
Until his
death Mr. Lupton retained keen interest of men and his mind was exceptional for
a man of his advanced years. The saying
that once printer’s ink gets into your blood it can not be eradicated, was indicated by Mr. Lupton. Daily, when
his health permitted and print shops and took pleasure in editors bits of friendly news about people he knew.
Mr. Lupton’s
death Thanksgiving morning ends a long and full life, one filled with struggles
marked by victory and a life of many deeds of kindness and sympathy. His death marks the loss of one of those
pioneering spirits to whom the nation owes a debt that can never be repaid.

Van Winkle, Delmar –
Delmar Van
Winkle, a young man 19 years old, was killed last Friday evening, being crushed
while backing a tractor into a shed at the home of Orval Brown, two miles south of Sharpsburg, where he has been employed for two
seasons.
The Brown family were away from home for a few days. The heavy rains
had made the road very bad nearby and the boy seeing that there was a truck
stuck, took the tractor to help. He returned to the shed and was backing
into place when
the tractor struck a beam extending from the ceiling, which crushed him so
badly that death, from all appearances was instantaneous. No one knows however,
for he was not found until noon next day when Dale Brown stopped at his brother’s
place and on looking around was horrified to
find that such a
tragedy had happened. The coroner was notified but after arriving decided that
no inquest was necessary.
The parents,
Mr. and Mrs. D. Van Winkle, have been residents of Conway for a number of
years. Funeral services were held in the
Conway church Monday afternoon and interment made in the Conway cemetery.
