Additional Comments:
"This News Report was posted in the Huron Tribune, Bad Axe Michigan "date 
unknown"  I think this report was posted on Sunday October 22th 1944, Gladys 
was still alive when this was reported. I found this News Clip in the USGen Web 
Archives posted by Mary Adam with many other Obituarys and Accidents in the 
Huron County area. After reading Cass Leavine’s obituary on 6 Feb 2006 Cass was 
married to my first cousin, the obituary states that Cass and Eleanor (nee 
Wisbiski) were married on Saturday October 21st 1944 and that was the dated of 
this accident also Gladys and Chester were my frist cousins"
