James R. SENNETT, 78, pioneer Chicago & Erie ticket agent and telegrapher of Monterey, Ind., passed away at Woodlawn hospital Thursday morning from a skull fracture and other injuries sustained a few days ago when he slipped and fell on the ice. The accident occurred while the agent was attempting to seal a milk car on the Erie tracks at Monterey.

At the time Mr. Sennett suffered the injuries his wife was confined in the Epworth hospital at South Bend suffering from a fractured leg, which she sustained in an automobile accident two weeks ago. She had been apprised earlier in the week of her husband's injuries and members of the Sennett family informed her at noon yesterday of her husband's demise.

Mr. Sennett through his long years of service as ticket agent at Monterey had made a wide acquaintance of friends throughout Pulaski and Fulton counties as well as with trainmen on the Chicago, Marion, Ohio division of the Erie railroad.

The survivors are the widow; two sons, Dr. Cecil SENNETT, of South Bend and Dr. William SENNETT, of Macy; a daughter, Beulah [SENNETT], at home; four grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
