Read More	Published in The Rochester Sentinel Monday, August 30, 1920 John SANDERS, age 20, formerly employed at the Sentinel, and Mabel McINTIRE, were killed late Saturday nite when the machine in which they were riding collided with one driven by A. C. HAMMERSBAUGH, of near Kokomo, on the Barrett road, near the CARRITHERS farm. In the car with Miss McIntire and Sanders was Geo. McKEE, who is employed at the Sentinel, and Sarah BURNS. The car in which the two met death was owned by McKee and Vern SANDERS, a brother of the dead man. The two cars, both being driven at a speed of about 20 miles an hour, as testified to by all survivors, locked left front wheels. The Sanders car's left front wheel was smashed down, causing the car to stand on the left front corner, at which time all occupants were thrown out. McKee and the Burns girl, in the rear seat probably given greater impetus, were thrown between 15 and 20 feet, but Sanders and the McIntire girl, in the front seat, were thrown just to the edge of the stone road and as the car turned on over, in what must have been a somersault, it struck them and they rolled on down into the 10 foot ditch, where it rested with all wheels in the air. Hammersbaugh, whose car was badly smashed about the front end -- the front wheel and axle driven under the chassis and the radiator and fender broken -- hurried out to the other machine and asked McKee, who was by that time standing up, if everybody was allright. McKee told Hammersbaugh the Burns girl, with him, was not hurt and he had seen Sanders, who lay on the edge of the road, roll over once and start to roll over a second time. They then both stepped over to the McIntire girl, who was lying still and unconsciious a few feet away from Sanders. They picked her up, and a crowd having gathered in the meantime, placed her in a machine, which started for the hospital in this city. Upon arrival at the hospital she was found to be dead, but was living when placed in the car. Sanders was put in another machine and Dr. King was called, but he died just a few minutes after the doctor reached the hospital. Both bodies were taken to the Hoover morgue from the hospital and the parents of the two dead young people summoned. McKee and the Burns girl were also taken into town but they were able to walk by themselves altho suffering badly from shock. The Burns girl was skinned about the knees and suffered a number of cuts and bruises about the body. McKee was also bruised and has a wrenched or sprained right arm. Sanders' death was due to a fractured skull, the left side having been caved in, practically flattened out. According to Coroner Archie STINSON, of Athens, the girl's death was due to an accident and a spinal fracture at the base of her skull. He did not return a finding in the case of Sanders because Dr. King had been in attendance at the time of death. Hammersbaugh and the young lady with wim were uninjured. No blame was placed by the coroner. The McIntire girl is the daughter of Clarence and Nora McINTIRE, of the Mt. Zion neighborhood. She was born April 24, 1902, three miles east of Athens, where she lived with her parents, receiving a common school education and later moving to the present home of her parents. She is survived by a brother, Lee [McINTIRE], and a sister, Etta [McINTIRE]. For the past year, she and the Burns girl had been employed at the Arlington hotel. In a statement to the coroner, McKee said that both Sanders and Hammersbaugh were driving at about 20 miles an hour; this statement was corroborated by Hammersbaugh. McKee said the lights on the Ford were rather bright but not necessarily attribute the accident to that. The lights on the Sanders car were Presto Lights and not very bright. The car was a right hand drive, which McKee said he believes caused Sanders to misjudge the distance between the two machines. The funeral service for Miss McIntire will be held at the Mt. Hope church, in Athens, Tuesday morning at ten o'clock, and the burial will be in the Mt. Hope cemetery. The Sanders funeral will be held Tuesday afternooon from the home, at 2 o'clock with Rev. GAIGE, of the Presbyterian church in charge and the burial will be in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. ----- Published in The Rochester Sentinel Friday, September 3, 1920 John Lawrence SANDERS, son of Mr. and Mrs. William SANDERS, was born May 21, 1901, four and one-half miles southeast of Rochester, in the Mt. Zion neighborhood, where he lived with his parents until September, 1914, when the family moved to the city of Rochester, where they have made their home since. He met death in an automobile accident on the Barret road, one and one-half miles east of Rochester, on Saturday evening, August 28, 1920, age 19 years, 2 months and 28 days.
