No one saw the accident, but as Mr. Crowder was a cripple, it was thought that he had in some manner stepped in front of the train, being unable to get out of the way of the engineer in time to avoid being run over. His body was literally torn to pieces. The crew on the train that hit Roy was from Fort Scott. The conductor was Bill Taylor and the engineer was Mr. Eves. Roy has lived in Cherokee practically all of his life, and was well known and well liked. He worked part of the time in the Favero store. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Loren Crowder, three brothers, Arthur, Carl and Fred Crowder, and three sisters, Mrs. Florence Imhoff, Gladys and Clarice Crowder, all of whom live in this city. Funeral services were held at the Christian church yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock by the Rev. Geo. Corporan, and interment made in the Cherokee cemetery. The family has the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. Contributed by Cheryl White
