CRASHES HERE
TAKE THREE LIVES
----------
County Traffic
Toll 4 in Week
----------
A car-train crash near Fairland late this morning which claimed the lives of a father and son, and a one-car crash shortly after midnight in Jackson Township in which a county man will killed brought Shelby County's traffic death toll to four already for 1966.
George David Mann, 21, Jackson Township and R.R. 2, Edinburg, died shortly after his car careened out of control on State Road 252, 2-1/2 miles east of Edinburg at 12:05 a.m., and landed in a ditch.
A passenger in Mann's car, Kenneth Gwin, 26, R.R. 4, was hospitalized with wreck injuries. Gwin crawled from the wrackage and staggered to a farm house some two hours later to seek help.
Mann apparently was killed instantly when his car became airborne after going over the crest of a small hill on Road 252 at a county road intersection. Sheriff officers said the Mann car "flew" over a fence and crashed into a ditch. The car traveled approximately 200 feet in the air. Authorities said the 1954 model auto was taveling[sic] at a high rate of speed, and there was evidence that the victim and Gwin had been drinking.
Gwin apparently was knocked unconscious and he didn't wake up for about two hours. He made his way to the Ernest Isley home nearby, told the Isleys of the wreck and said he couldn't get Mann "to wake up." The Isley residence was located a short distance from the crash but it was down an embankment and not visible from the road.
Gwin was admitted to Major Hospital with lacerations of the hands, arms and chest and possible head injuries. The Mann car was called a total loss with damage set at $125.
Mr. Mann was born in Shelby County, Oct. 21, 1944, the son of Clinton and Hazel (Smothers) Mann, and he was married Feb. 4, 1965, to Teresa Ann Karlock at Brownsville, Pa. An employe of Gen Pro, Inc., of Shelbyville at the time of his death, he had served with the U.S. Army and was stationed on duty at the grave of the late President John F. Kennedy prior to his discharge last Oct. 21 at Fort Myers, Va., with the rank of E-4.
He is survived by his wife and parents, also of R.R. 2, Edinburg; his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Marion Smothers of Shelbyville, two sisters, and two brothers, Mrs. Barbara Jo Shutt of Shelbyville; Sharon Lee Mann, at home; Marion Mann, R.R. 2, Edinburg, and Paul Mann of Cleveland, O.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. at the Murphy Mortuary with the Rev. William Eaton officiating. Burial will be in the Flat Rock Cemetery. Friends may call at the mortuary after 5:00 p.m. Sunday.
