Two Reynoldsville Veterans Die in Wreck Near DuBois
Two Reynoldsville service veterans, both in their twenties, were killed Sunday morning when a convertible smashed into a guard rail and overturned near what is known as the "Little Times Square" area of Route 322, four miles southeast of DuBois and one-quarter mile west of the intersection of Routes 322 and 219.
The dead:
Thomas W. Marshall, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. Daryl Marshall, of Bradford Street.
Clarence Clontz, 23, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lester H. Clontz, of Pancoast Street.
State Police of the DuBois sub-station said young Marshall, who was presumed to be driving the car, died of a fractured skull and possible internal injuries. His companion, they said, suffered a head injury and a compound fracture of the left arm that is believed to have severed an artery.
Marshall and Clontz, according to police, were travelling west, from Clearfield toward Reynoldsville. As the car rounded a gradual right curve it left the roadway, crashed into a guard rail on the left side, overturned on its top and slid approximately 75 feet on the highway. The crash occurred at 4:20 a. m. Sunday.
Clontz, Trooper Daniel Jurcevich said, managed to crawl out of the car. Police theorized he died from loss of blood while trying to lift the auto from young Marshall.
The car, a 1956 Mercury convertible, was owned by Marshall's sister, Lt. Doris Marshall, of the Women's Air Force, who is home on leave.
Thomas Marshall, a member of the Reynoldsville-Winslow High School championship football team of 1953, was a veteran of two years of army service. He was a student at the Pittsburgh Technical Institute, where he was studying engineering.
Clarence Clontz, who had completed three years of army service, was a nephew of Robert and Donald Waite, of Punxsutawney. He was employed by a Brockway construction firm.
Funeral services for Clarence Clontz will be held Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Ober Funeral Home in Reynoldsville. Military services will be conducted by the McMullen-Snyder Post of the American Legion in Reynoldsville.
Funeral services for Thomas Marshall will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Ober Funeral Home in Reynoldsville. The McMullen-Snyder Legion Post will conduct military services.
Clarence Clontz was born in Reynoldsville Jan. 29, 1934, a son of Lester H. and Nettie Douthit Clontz. He leaves one brother, Harry Clontz, Reynoldsville; three sisters, Mrs. Ethel Fye and Mrs. Thelma Akers, of Reynoldsville R. D. 3, and Mrs. Gladys Beck, of Reynoldsville, and his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Susan Douthit, of Reynoldsville.
Thomas Marshall was born in Reynoldsville Oct. 15, 1935, a son of Daryl and Florence Waite Marshall. His survivors include two sisters, Lt. Doris Marshall, of the Women's Air Force, and Mrs. Patricia Mack, of Reynoldsville; two brothers, Robert Marshall, of Reynoldsville, and Clyde Marshall, with the U. S. Army and his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Clara Waite, of Reynoldsville.
