ALBION DRIVER DIES IN CRASH

Nephew Hurt As Auto Collides With Car Of Fort Wayne Men

ALBION, July 13,--A. Richard Alwine, 40, of Albion, was killed instantly at 3 p.m. today when his automobile collided with another at Hockingberg’s corners east of her. He suffered a fractured skull.

The accident victim’s nephew, A. Richard Alwine, 18, of Mishawaka, who was with him at the time, also suffered a skull fracture and other injuries. He was reported in critical condition tonight at Lakeside hospital at Kendallville.

Virgil Showalter, 24, of Fort Wayne, driver of the automobile which struck the Alwine car, was uninjured and his companion, Robert Hickman of Fort Wayne, escaped with minor lacerations.

Alwine, a plasterer, was driving south, returning to Albion after working at a farm near the scene of the accident, and Showalter and Hickman, both Scoutmasters, were westbound, en route to a Boy Scout camp at Skinner lake. Alwine’s auto was struck on the side and turned over.

The accident is being investigated by Dr. H. O. Williams of Kendallville, deputy coroner of Noble county, Sheriff Marion Galloway and state police officers.

The widow and four children survive. The body was brought to the Miser funeral home here. Funeral arrangements are incomplete.
