Mart Rowe, 61 a C. & O. section foreman, of
Tadpole Creek near Louisa, who was injured Saturday
when two motor cars collided near Richardson, died at
3:15 today at the C. & O. hospital in Huntington.
Oscar Rowe, his son, who also was injured
in the wreck, is recovering and will be discharged from 
the hospital next week.
G. Dixon, a loborer on the section crew, was 
injured badly in the collision and his foot was amputated
at the Huntington hospital Monday.  He is resting comfor-
tably but will be confined at the hospital for some time.
Twelve others were slightly injuried in the 
collision.  Mart Rowe received internal injuries and injur-
ies to his head.  He never regained consciousness.  His
widow and two children were called to the hospital last
night because of his serious condition and were with him
when he died.
His body will be taken to his home near Tadpole
Creek late today where funeral services and burial will be
held.
The collision occurred at 1:45 P. M. Saturday on
a curve in the single C. & O. tracks at Benbow near
Richardson.  Rowe and his section crew occupied one motor
car and several minor C. & O. officials occupied the other.  R.
W. Mumford, division engineer, of Ashland, was on the Latter
car but was not injured.
The three seriously injured men were taken to the C.
& O. hospital on a special train.
