"JOE" JAQUISH KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT (SRGP 55135) The community was saddened last week to learn of the accidental death of Joseph R. Jaquish, who was instantly killed Wednesday night about nine o’clock in an automobile accident near the overpass at Columbia Cross Roads on the Elmira-Troy road. Mr. and Mrs. Jaquish were driving toward Elmira and in trying to avoid hitting a box in the road he failed to make the turn and crashed into the guard posts. The force of the impact sheared off four posts and the machine rolled over the steep embankment at this point coming to rest headed toward Troy. Mr. Jaquish was thrown through the window on his wife’s side and was instantly killed. His skull was fractured and his neck was broken. Mrs. Jaquish was cut and badly bruised, but managed to crawl through the window and run to the nearest neighbors for help. Mr. Jaquish was born in Covington Township, April 2, 1907. He was a graduate of Mansfield High School, spent one year at the University of Pittsburgh and two years at Mansfield State Teachers College. On Nov. 6, 1931 he was married to Doris F. Soper of Mansfield. For the past eight years he was a well-known employee of the Cross Trail Restaurant in Mansfield. His pleasant smile and cheery disposition were characteristics of his life. He not only will be missed by his wife and family, but by his friends and neighbors who bore loving tribute to him by many beautiful flowers. The deceased is survived by his wife, Doris Soper Jaquish; his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph S. Jaquish of Mansfield, Pa.; a brother Dr. Charles Jaquish of New Castle; Mrs. Russell Marvin, Covington; Mrs. Mary Smith, Mansfield; Mrs. George Michaels, Throop, Pa.; Mrs. Harry Miller, Lancaster, Pa. The funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the residence, 319 North Main St., Mansfield with an unusually large attendance. Interment was made in the Prospect Cemetery, Mansfield. The Rev. D. W. Bayliss officiated. The people of the community extend their sympathy to the bereaved family in the loss which they have sustained. |
