Aged Woman Killed By Train

Mrs. Mary Sherrick Lives For Hour After Being Hil After
Alighting From Car

Mrs. Mary Sherrick, aged Elida resident, was fatally
injured yesterday when an eastbound Pennsylvania
passenger train struck her as she was crossing the
tracks at stop No. 7 on the Ohio Electric interurban
line.

She died here less than an hour later while being taken
to the Lima City hospital in an ambulance.

Mrs. Sherrick was seventy-two years old and the widow of
Henry Sherrick, formerly _______ an Elida business man.

She had just alighted from an Ohio Electric car and was
walking across the Pennsylvania traks in the direction
of the home of a relative, whom she intended to visit,
when the passenger train struck her. Apparently no one
saw the accident.

Her body was hurled some distance, but she did not lose
consciousness and was able to shout for help. Bystanders
rushed to her aid and she was put on an interurban car
bound for Lima.

An ambulance met the party at the station here, but Mrs.
Sherrick died before reaching the hospital.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2
o'clock from the Lutheran church in Elida. Burial will
be made in Salem cemetery near that place. The Rev.
Brewer will officiate.
