LUCY NEIMILLER

Auto Injuries Cause of Death
Rockwood Woman Dies in Hospital Two Weeks After Accident

  Injuries sustained two weeks ago when struck by an automobile while walking 
along the highway are believed to be the cause of the death of Mrs. Lucy 
Neimiller, 47, of Rockwood, in the Community Hospital at Somerset, Friday 
afternoon.
  Mrs. Neimiller was walking along the Garrett-Rockwood road, about 6:50 on the 
evening of February 12th, when hit by an automobile driven by Hiram Walker of 
Meyersdale, R.D.  The injured woman was removed to the office of a Rockwood 
physician in Walker's car, for first aid treatment, after which she was taken to 
the Community Hospital in an ambulance.
  Mrs. Neimiller's injuries were listed as compound fracture of the left elbow 
and right leg, bruises and lacerations of both legs and possible internal 
injuries.
  State motor police who investigated at the time of the accident said no 
prosecution would be made against Walker.
  At the death of Mrs. Neimiller last Friday, Coroner F. E. Sass of Boswell, was 
called to make an investigation as to the cause of her death.  He said an 
inquest will be held sometime this week.
  Mrs. Lucy Neimiller is survived by her husband and several sisters. No 
children survive.  She was a daughter of William and Mary (Deitz) Showman.  
Funeral services were conducted Monday at her home in Rockwood.
