Death came in a rear-end collision in which two empty stock trucks owned by Lawrence "Red" HOLLAND of this city, were involved about seven miles south of South Whitley and east of North Manchester on Ind. 114. The big semi truck-trailers were driven by Myers and Jennings GROGG, of Akron, and were returning empty after delivering hogs to a stock yard in Huntington. Grogg was in the lead with Myers following. In an effort to avoid hitting two stray kittens, Grogg made a quick stop. Myers, obviously close behind him, was unable to stop. The crash came with a terrible impact, which threw Myers through the windshield where he suffered the concussion which is believed to have caused instant death. The two trucks were so tightly locked in the collision as to require a wrecker to pull them apart. The Myers vehicle's engine and cab were driven back into the body of the trailer and is said to be a total loss. The lead truck was also badly damaged. Myers, a veteran of World War 2, was born in this city June 3, 1922, the son of Ray and Arlene (LOWMAN) MYERS. He was reared in Rochester where he attended school. He was married Oct. 25, 1947 to Donna YOUNG of Akron. They are the parents of a daughter, Linda Kay [MYERS]. Both wife and daughter survive. The deceased was a member of Leroy C. Shelton post, American Legion and the Loyal Order of Moose. He attended Trinity EUB church. Other survivors include the parents; a brother John William "Bill" MYERS; a sister, Mrs. Otto BLACKETOR, Allen Park, Mich.; and the maternal grandfather, Frank LOWMAN, South Bend. The Blacketor family had spent the week-end with her parents here and had taken Mrs. Myers home with them for a week's vacation only yesterday. The body will rest at the Zimmerman Bros. funeral home where final rites will be held Friday at 2 p.m. The Rev. Stephen GUBI of Trinity EUB church will officiate, assisted by the American Legion. Friends are welcome at the funeral home. Published in the Rochester(IN) News-Sentinel, Thursday, September 4, 1952 A correction is due in the funeral announcement for James "Bud" MYERS, made Wednesday. Final rites will be held Friday at 2 p.m., at Trinity EUB church instead of at the Zimmerman Bros. funeral home, where the body will rest until the funeral hour. Myers was killed in a truck accident Tuesday afternoon. SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Obituaries – 1952 by Jean C. and Wendell C. Tombaugh
