Read More	married Donald and died 27 hours later Fulton County, Indiana Obits by Tombaugh; Saturday, June 28, 1925 Within 27 hours of her marriage, Mrs. Donald C. ROSS age 26, of Mishawaka, formerly Miss Beatrice BONEWITZ of North Manchester who taught languages in the Rochester High school in 1921, was killed instantly about 10:30 o'clock Friday night when west bound Erie express train No. 13 struck the rear of the Ford coupe in which Mrs. [ROSS] and her husband were returning to North Manchester after having spent the evening at the Colonial Terrace Gardens here, at the Wade crossing one-half mile west of Akron. A second more would have placed the automobile out of the train's path, it was said. Mr. Ross was cut on the head and has been delirious most of the time since his removal to the Brumfield hotel in Akron, but at a lucid interval he said he hadn't seen the train. North Manchester people are credited with the statement that the locomotive was reported traveling without a head light, but this has not been verified. The car was carried 50 feet and demolished. Mrs. Ross' head was crushed, both of her legs were broken, and her body was mangled. The body was taken to the Case undertaking parlors where County Coroner HIATT will conduct a post mortem, after which it probably will be removed to the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. Frank BONEWITZ, the woman's parents, at North Manchester. Bob GAST and party of Akron were the first to reach the accident scene, closely followed by Mrs. Earl HATTON, 918 Main street, and the Misses Vera [KEPLER] and Ada KEPLER of this city and Mrs. MORROW and Miss Mary Lou BEDFORD of Lafayette, a party returning from a dance at Silver Lake. Miss Vera Kepler said she heard the girl scream, supposedly just before the fatal impact. The fireman on the express saw the car and its perilous position, it is reported, and called to the engineer who did not hear him. The engineer is said to have stated that if he had heard he might have stopped the train in time. Neither of these men's names could be learned Saturday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Ross were reported to have been spending their honeymoon at Akron. They were married Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock in the North Manchester Methodist church in the presence of members of the immediate families. Rev. BECHOK reading the ritual. Donald LEITER of near the city was the best man. Mrs. Ross was well known in northern Indiana. She attended the North Manchester schools, was graduated from North Manchester College and besides teaching in the local high school, taught French in the South Bend and in the Mishawaka high schools. Her father is a grocer in North Manchester and superintendent of the Methodist Sunday school. Besides the parents, a sister Marian [BONEWITZ] survives. Mr. Ross is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. ROSS of Vancouver, Wash., and is employed as secretary and treasurer of the Ardoss Products Co. of Mishawaka.
