the Burgettstown-Hickory improved road near the office of the Erie Coal
company in South Burgettstown. He saw three children walking ahead of him
on the road. They were jostling each other. He tooted his horn and pulled
his car to one side to avoid them. Just as he approached the group the
GRZALIK boy started to run across the road, directly in front of the
machine. BROCKMAN swerved his car almost off the improved portion of the
road, but the boy was hit and went under the machine.

they rushed to Dr. HINDMAN's office. The boy died just after their arrival
there. BROCKMAN the went to the office of Justice of the Peace W. B. CULLEY

The community was much grieved and shocked to learn of the sudden death of
Mrs. Elizabeth SPRINGER on Tuesday evening.
While she had been trained in the school of physical affliction she had
been in good health the last week and was in her usual place in church last
Sunday and at the first of the week performed the usual household duties.
After her husband daughter had retired for the night, she wrote a letter to
Mrs. Hector GERARD, a relative in Ohio, and afterward spent some time
crocheting. After her sons came home from Imperial she was seized with a
fit of coughing and James went for a physician, who did not arrive until the
mother had passed away. She only said to her daughter, "Good bye," and
expired. (portion cut for brevity) The oldest son of the family proved
himself to be more than of advantage to the community when he went
cheerfully, and even eagerly, through the perils and hardships of the World
war that others might remain in security. Mrs. SPRINGER was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel DOUGHTY and there remain of that family two sisters,
Mrs. Mattie SNOWDEN and Mrs. Lulu JACKSON of East Liverpool, and two
brothers, John DOUGHTY and William of Nebraska, of her household her husband
and two sons, James and Lawrence, and her daughter Nellie.
Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Thomas GRAY of Crafton and the
Rev. Samuel NEAL of Hebron at the Valley church.
