FUNERAL FOR OBED GILLIOM TO BE TUESDAY
French Township Young Man Dies in Hospital From Injuries

Funeral services for Obed Gilliom, aged 29, who died Saturday at the Adams County Memorial Hospital, will be held at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Orel Gilliom, in French township, and at 10 o'clock at the Christian Apostolic Church. Burial will be in the church cemetery.

Gilliom died from injuries received, Thursday, Sept. 3, in an accident of Federal road 27, two miles north of Berne. He was driving north with a team of horses, when a truck owned by the Horton-Davis Seed Company, of Lebanon, driven by Paul Harr, aged 20, crashed into the team and wagon, throwing Gilliom to the pavement. He received a broken skull and other severe injuries.

Gilliom was taken to the Adams County hospital and had been unconscious ever since. However, it had been believed that he was slowly recovering. Last Wednesday complications set in and pneumonia developed. Despite medical treatment and a blood transfusion, his condition became rapidly worse. His temperature mounted to 10? degrees before he died.

Mr. Gilliom was born in French township, January 28, 1907, a son of Orel and Elizabeth Gerber Gilliom. He has been a resident of French township all his life and the past several years has been aiding his father in farming. He was not married.

Surviving are the parents and the following brothers and sisters: Ralph, South Bend; John, at home; Lucy, at home; Mrs. Elva Blocker, Wells county; Nora and Violet at home. The following half-brothers and half-sisters survive: Herman, Elgin, Illinois; Andrew, Bluffton; Louise, Bluffton; Aldine, Mansfield, Ohio; Aldula, Wells county and William, Bluffton.

Members of the Gilliom family who were injured recently in an automobile collision are reported to be improving nicely.
