Clem R. MILLER, aged 45, local manager of the Johnson Oil Refining Company, was fatally burned at 7:30 o’clock this morning at his filling station at 528 East Ninth Street. The cause of the fire will in all probability always remain a secret as no one was present when Mr. Miller suffered his injuries.

Mr. Miller, who resided at 1626 South Main street, had driven to the filling station operated by him on East Ninth Street. He was met there by R. P. BIXLER of LaPorte, district manager of the Johnson Company. The two men talked for a short time and Bixler then departed.

A short time later Mr. Miller’s cries were heard by Paul WHITCOMB, former deputy sheriff and Dean KILMER, who reside across the street from the filling station. Whitcomb and Kilmer who saw Miller in a mass of falmes armed themselves with blankets and pushed to the unfortunate man’s assistance.

By the time Kilmer and Whitcomb reached Miller’s side he had had presence of mind enough to be rolling in the gravel at the southwest corner of the filling station in an effort to smother the flames. Whitcomb and Kilmer finally succeeded in smothering the flames on Miller’s clothing, with their blankets.

Miller was dead by the time Kilmer and Whitcomb had extinguished the fire which covered his clothing. Miller was burned almost beyond recognition. The undertaker who cared for the body stated that in his long experience he had never seen a person’s body which was as badly burned as was that of Mr. Miller’s.

There are several theories advanced for the cause of the fire. One is that Miller had attempted to rekindle a fire in the stove in the filling station and in so doing his clothing which was generally saturated with oils or gasoline because of the nature of his occupation ignited when he touched a match to the stove.

This theory is given credence because Miller had just cut some kindling in a shed to the north---- of the filling station. The doors to this building were open and an ax and fresh kindling were found on the floor of the shed. Kindling was in the stove and a badly burned pad of paper matches was found just outside the filling station door.

Another theory is that Miller might have fired his clothing when he struck a match on his trousers. This however is not thought to be true because of the pad of paper matches. Another theory is that when making kindling Miller’s ax struck a nail or stone causing a spark and this started the fire. This theory is also discredited because the wood floor of the shed which was saturated with spilled gasoline did not ignite. Money and checks in Miller’s pockets will have to be salvaged as they were so badly burned.

Mr. Miller has been a life long resident of Fulton county. He was born on a farm in Richland township on August 14, 1887. His parents were George and Mary MILLER. Mr. Miller first followed the occupation of a farmer but for the past ten years has been the local manager for the Johnson Oil Company.

The deceased was a prominent republican and was honored by his party by being elected surveyor of Fulton county for two terms or from 1925 to 1929. He was a member of the

Methodist Church and of the Knights of Pythias lodge.

Survivors are the widow, who was Miss Rose BOWEN, three sons, Dr. Russell MILLER, [Virgil MILLER[ who is a student in the Indiana University School of Medicine at Indianapolis, Don [MILLER] of this city, and a daughter, Annabelle [MILLER], who resides on a farm north of Rochester and Arthur E.

Using shells that he evidently purchased for that purpose and a 12-gauge shotgun found in home of a neighbor Ward WYLIE, aged 22, an employee of the Armour Creamery committed suicide at 9:30 o’clock Sunday morning by firing a charge into his right temple. His face was partly blown away, death being almost instantaneous.

Wylie, who lived on a farm on R.R. 6 one and half mile southwest of Rochester, had evidently planned to kill himself for sometime. Saturday night he went to the home of his neighbor, George HAZLETT. While there Mr. Hazlett said Wylie appeared to be very nervous. Wylie went from the Hazlett home to that of Clyde BICK another neighbor who lives a short way south of Mr. Hazlett.

At the Bick home Wylie asked to borrow a gun, stating he wanted to kill chicken hawks. Bick noticed also that Wylie was highly nervous and asked him about the hawks. Bick also asked Wylie how many chickens he had. Wylie told him that he did not have any chickens now but planned to buy some and he wanted to kill the hawks before he got the chickens.

The story aroused Bick’s suspicions and he refused to permit him to have a gun. Wylie then left the Bick home and again called on Mr. Hazlett. On both visits Wylie bolted into the Hazlett home without knocking. On his second visit at Hazlett’s Saturday night Wylie only stayed a short time.

Sunday morning Wylie returned to the Hazlett home. Seating himself in a chair he pulled Hazlett’s shot gun out from under the bad and started to examine it. Hazlett did not have the gun loaded. Wylie then said to Hazlett that he thought it was going to rain, although the sun was shining brightly, and that he believed that Hazlett should bring in a comfort which he had on the line fearing that it might be soaked by rain.

Hazlett complied with Wylie’s request. In the meantime it is thought Wylie inserted a shell which he had brought with him into the shotgun. Hazlett returned to the house again and stated to Wylie that since he thought it might rain he believed that he had better pump a

bucket of water so that he would have some in the house.

While Hazlett was pumping the water he heard a noise which sounded to him like something had fallen from the wall to the floor. Going into the house he found Wylie had shot himself. His body was slumped down in a rocking chair. Coroner Herbert ZIMMERMAN was called and made an investigation.

Wylie’s relatives say he had threatened to kill himself several times recently because of financial worries which it is thought caused despondency. He has also been sick during the past few months. The deceased was born on a farm west of the city on December 29, 1909. His parents were Charles and Geneva WYLIE.

The deceased has been a life-long resident of Fulton county. He graduated from Rochester High School in 1928. Since that time he has been employed at the Armour Creamery in East Rochester where he was a trusted employee.

Howard WILSON, aged 33, farmer residing three and half miles northeast of Rochester in the McKinley school neighborhood was drowned in the swollen waters of Chipwanuck Creek late Thursday afternoon when he was pinned beneath fence rails as the loaded wagon on which he was crossing the stream upset when it struck a stone in the creek. The body was found by Mrs. Wilson when she went to look for her husband when he failed to come in for supper.

Wilson had left his home at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon to transport fence rails from one part of his farm to another. He was using a team of horses and a wagon in the operation. To move the rails it was necessary that the wagon be driven through the Chipwanuck Creek which flows through the Wilson farm.

When Mr. Wilson did not come home for supper Mrs. Wilson went to investigate. She found the upturned wagon in the steeam and then summoned Steele EWING and Harvey GREGSON her neighbors to assist her. The two farmers found the horses hitched to the vehicle standing at the edge of the stream. They apparently had stopped when the wagon upset.

The body of Wilson was in a few feet of water face downward. He had been caught by the rails in such a manner that he was unable to free himself. A pulmotor was sent from the fire station here and was used for nearly an hour in an effort to revive Wilson but the effort proved to no avail. Coroner Herbert ZIMMERMAN was called and pronounced death due to drowning.

Mr. Wilson was born in Lycoming county, Pennsylvania on November 20, 1899 the son of McClellan and Mary WILSON. He came to this county twenty-four years ago with his parents who settled on a farm east of the city. The father died two years ago. His wife was Mable RIDDLE whom he married on December 23, 1928. He was a member of the Christian Church and the Gleaners Lodge.

An examination was made of the body today by Coroner Zimmerman and two local doctors who found that Mr. Wilson’s death had been caused by a fracture of the skull near the base of the brains. The skull had been fractured when the rails fell on Mr. Wilson’s head.

There was no water in the lungs which proved that death had been instantaneous.

Survivors are the widow, the mother who lived with her son and daughter-in-law, a brother David WILSON who resides on a farm near Athens, a sister Mrs. Aletha CARRITHERS of near Argos, two nieces and two nephews.

The funeral services will be held from the Christian Church at the corner of Eleventh and Madison Streets at 2 p.m. Sunday with the Rev. John WALLENBURG pastor of the church in charge. Burial will be made in the Odd Fellows cemetery.

The header had been placed on end against the garage building. The end of the header which weihed over 1000 pounds had been placed on a piece of wood. Deloise and his friend decided the piece of wood on which the header was resting was needed in the construction of a

minature house which they were building.

Each of the lads tugged at the piece of wood several times in an effort to move it from under the heavy piece of cement. Neher jerked the piece of wood with sufficient force as to cause the header to topple over onto him.

The heavy piece of concrete struck the lad in the abdominal region breaking his pelvs and injuring him internally. Death was caused by a bursted bladder.

Mrs. Robert RICKMAN, aged 68, committed suicide at her home at 7:30 [sic] Indiana Avenue early this morning by drinking carbolic acid. Despondency over continued ill health and impending blindness are given as the cause for the act by Mrs. Rickman’s relatives.

The body was found by Mr. Rickman lying on the living room when he came into his home shortly after 1 o’clock this morning after he had been called to the home of a sick friend neary. Mr. Rickman called a docor who was unable to save Mrs. Rickman’s life.

Mrs. Rickman had been in ill health for several years Amost two years ago she started to become blind. All efforts to save her eyesight failed. Last spring Mrs. Rickman had one of

her eyes removed in an effort to save the sight in the other.

Mrs. Rickman had become so blind that it was necessary for her to hold to different things in order to be able to get around. Her husband had stretched a wire from the steps of the home to a tree in the yard under which he placed a large chair so that she would be able to rest.

While it will never be known exactly just how Mrs. Rickman committed suicide it is thought that she swallowed the poison while sitting in the chair in the yard and then followed along the wire nto her home The bottle which had contained the acid was found in the yard near the chair.

Just how Mrs. Rickman obtained the poison will also probably never be learned. Her suicide however was not unexpected as she had threatened to end her life on other occasions during periods of despondency. Coroner Herbert ZIMMERMAN was called and conducted an inquest.

A high wid that struck Lake Maxinkuckee at 6:45 p.m. Frday, claimed the life of Mrs. Lucia C. MILLER, aged 52, wife of Arthur E. MILLER, local insurance agent and realtor. Mr. and Mrs. Miller reside at 128 West Thirteenth Street. The storm which claimed Mrs. Miller’s life endangered the lives of other members of her family and a large number of fishermen who were on the lake at the time.

Mr. and Mrs Miler had driven to the lake to spend the evening with their sons, Arthur [MILLER], aged 13, and Robert [MILLER], aged 12, and Lawrence BROWN, aged 11, son of Attorney and Mrs Selden J. BROWN. The three lads had been staying in a shack on the south side of Lake Maxinkuckee for the past week.

Mr. and Mrs. Miller and the three boys were in a rowboat propelled by an outboard motor when the storm broke Mr. Miller saw the storm approaching and had started for the shore when a large wave struck the boat Had the occupants of the boat had two minutes longer they would have been able to reach the shore in safety. The boat at the time the wave struck it was about a quarter of a mile from shore. The water at this point is only eight feet deep.

The wave which struck the boat partially filled it with water Only the brow of the boat stayed above the water. When the occupants of the boat were thrown into the water, Robert Miller grabbed his father and held his head above the water. Mrs. Miller foundered in the water and sank before her son, Arthur, was able to reach her However, he dove into the water and brought his mother to the surface, holding her head above the water until a boat from Culver Military Academy reached the Miller boat.

The members of the Miller family and the Brown boy were taken to the Culver Military Academy Hospital. Expert life savers stationed at the academy worked over the body of Mrs. Miller with the aid oif a pulmotor for over four hours. Death, according to Coroner Harry DANIELSON of Plymouth, was due to a heart attack. No water was found in her lungs.

Coroner Danielson stated that Mrs. Miller probably suffered the heart attack as soon as she was thrown into the water. This theory is given credence as the others who were thrown into the water state that Mrs Miller never said a word after the boat was swamped. Mrs Miller’s face and body were bady bruised due to the pounding which she experienced by the high waves and from coming in contact with the side of the boat.

The two Miller youths are badly bruised as is the Brown boy. Mr. Miller is suffering greatly from exhaustion and shock. His right side was badly bruised due to his being battered against the side of the boat by the waves. He was first given treatment at the hospital at Culver and late last night was removed to his home in this city where he was placed under the care of a physician.

In an interview early Saturday with a representative of the Culver Citizen, regarding the tragedy which claimed the life of Mrs. Artie Miller Friday eveing on Lake Maxinkuckee, he stated that the storm which lashed the lake, was unquestionably the worst in the history of that resort. The storm came up at 6:45 and lasted for half an hour.

A group of some 25 to 30 fishng boats each loaded with from two to five persons were located in the south center of the lake when the terrific windstorm broke in less than a minute’s warning. Several oarsmen attempted to head into the storm for the Walker landing located on the southwest shore of the lake, but the impetus of the wind and the high running waves made such efforts futile.

In changing their course to run with the waves toward the east shore approximately ten boats were caught sidewise in the troughs of the waves and the occupants were upset in the churning waves which were running six to eight feet high. Culver military officers sensing

the dangerous situation ordered six of their large launches to the scene and the foundering fishermen were taken aboard while their up-turned boats were washed ashore on the southwestern edge of the lake.

Several Rochester fishermen who were on the lake at the time succeeded in riding their boats safely through to the east shore of the lake.

Some others from Rocheser who were caught im the storm are Charles BAILEY, Louis NINIOS, Percy SMITH, Lisle KRIEGHBAUM, Rev. T. L. STOVALL and Nola RICHARDSON and Harold WILLIAMS both of Indianapolis who are visiting here at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George BUTLER.

Mrs. Miller was born on a farm in Richland township on October 8, 1880. Her parents were Isaac and Rebecca (DILLON) BABCOCK. Mrs. Miller had resided in this county all her lifetime. She was a very prominent member of the Baptist Church and the Eastern Star and Rebekah lodges. She was also the president of the Lincoln School Parent-Teachers Association

A heavy fog which enveloped the earth Sunday night is believed responsible for an accident east of Lapaz on Road 6 which claimed the lives of an Argos young man and a Lapaz girl and the injuring of two other Argos boys and two girls, one of Plymouth and the other of Burr Oak.

The large sedan in which the members of the party were riding was completely demolished. Passing motorists removed the injured members of the party to a hospital in Plymouth.

The two youths and two girls have suffered fractures of bones and are badly cut and bruised. The bodies of the two persons who were killed were removed to undertaking parlors at Argos and Lapaz.

Mr. Carpenter’s death it is said was caused by a fracture of the skull while Miss Moore’s death was the result of internal injuries.

One person was killed and five persons injured, two seriously, in three automobile accidents which occurred last night. Two of the victims are now in hospitals. One of the victims is in a hospital at Peru while the other is in the Woodlawn Hospital.

Irwin DERSHAM, 20, of Akron was fatally injured when he was pinned beneath his car in a ditch near Chili at 2:30 o’clock this morning. Dersham at the time of the accident was returning from Peru in car owned and driven by him.

William EISAMAN, aged 21, of Akron, was riding with Dersham at the tim. Eisaman who is a patient in a hospital at Peru stated that Dersham sruck a bridge near Chili with sufficient force as to overturn his car into a ditch. Esaman received many bad cuts and bruises. It is feared he has suffered internal injuries.

Eisaman was able to free himself from the car but was unable to liberate Dersham. Eisaman secured help from a nearvby farm house. When the car was lifted it was found that Dersham was dead. It is believed Dersham was killed by a blow on the head which he received in the crash and it is also possible that he was drowned as his head was submerged in the water of the ditch.

Another version of the accident which claimed Dersham’s life is that the two youths were returning from Peru shortly after 12:30 o’clock on Road 19 when Dersham struck the banister of bridge the car overturning into the ditch Eisaman was rendered unconscious and did not regain his senses until 4 o’clock Dersham’s death it was said was caused by drownng. There was eight inches of water in the ditch.

Mr. Dersham was born near Peru, on July 1, 1913. He has lived at Akron since he was five years of age. His parents are Mr and Mrs Frank DERSHAM.

Three persons were injured in an accident two miles east of the city on Road 14 at 6:30 o’clock Tuesday evvening when cars driven by Mrs. Russell SEE and Vern RICHTER of Akron collided.

Mrs. See, who was accompanied by her sister Miss Betty SLAYBAUGH was driving toward Rochester while Richter was driving east. The crash occurred near the home of Councilman Joe EWING.

Miss Betty Slaybaugh who is a patient in the Woodlawn Hospital was the most seriously injured. She received bad cuts on the face and head and four front teeth in the upper jaw knocked out. It is considered remarkable that Miss Slaybaugh was not decapitated as her head was driven through the windshield.

Mr. Richter received cuts and bruises. One cut on his head was to the scalp. Thirty stitches were reauired to close his wounds. Mrs See received a broken nose and cuts and bruises. Both cars were badly damaged. The Richter car will have to be junked.

Neither the See nor the Richter car was insured. Richter who had purchased the car on time payments had just a few months before the accident made his last payment. Miss Slaybaugh seems to be a victim of hard luck Yesterday morning she was released from quarantine for diphtheria.

Lawrence MARTIN, a traveling salesman of Lafayette was the sixth victim of the series of crashes. He received cuts and bruises and his car a new Ford coach was badly damaged when he struck a horse which was loose on the highway. Martin received medical attention here.

The accident occurred on Road 25, six and half miles south of Rochester. Martin’s car turned over on its side after the accident. Police today were attempting to check the ownership of the horse.

He had suffered a fall on last Monday in which both his hip and arm were fractured which ultimately resulted in the fatal attack. Most of his immediate famiy was at his bedside when he died.

He was driven back and forth from his home to office and on Monday as he alighted from a taxicab he fell on the sidewalk and sustained severe injuries. His eyesight had been impaired for a number of years and it was difficult for him to see where he was stepping. He was taken to the hospital at once and x-ray pictures showed the left hip and the left arm to both be broken. He suffered from these injuries considerably during the past few days but was not thought dangerously ill until the pneumonia developed and then he sank rapidly.

The deceased was widely known as a raiser of Chester White hogs and as one of the leading developers of that breed.

MOORE.

Mr. Moore kept in personal touch with the organization daily and was an enthusiastic booster for Chester Whites up to his final day at his desk. During his term of office his four sons developed The Chester White Journal, founded by Mr. Moore, into one of the leading hog publications in the country. On November 1st last Mr Moore held his final sale at his farm and announced his retirement after 40 years experience from the purebred swine business. During his time he saw hogs which he had bred, developed and sold become champions and grand champions at county, state, national and international fairs.

there and in Rochester all of his life He was the son of George and Rebecca (CLARK) MOORE who were pioneer farmers in Fulton county in 1840.

Peru, Ind., Dec. 5. - “I fell asleep as we drove from Peru and the next thing I knew was when I was standing on the porch of a farm house,” was the statement given by William EISAMAN in the coroner’s report on the death of his companion, Erwin DERSHEM, Akron youth, in an automobile crash near Chili last Wednesday.

Eisaman, a son oif Elmer EISAMAN, of this city, has resided at Akron the past four years. The youth, who is recovering from injuries received in the accident, explained in his statement to the coroner that he laid unconscious in the wreck for a long period and after partially regaining consciousness, he stumbled to the nearby home of Oren KOTTERMAN before he regained his senses and could remember anything.

Eisaman was asleep when the car hit the rail of a bridge a mile south of Chili and was knocked unconscious when the car plunged into the creek. For that reason, he did not know how the accident occurred or what happened as it plunged into the creek. Investigation showed , however, that while Dersham was pinned and crushed beneath the wreckage of the overturned car, Eisaman was thrown clear of the wreckage and thus escaped death.
