CLARENCE PLATTER

Garrett Youth Fatally Injured
Clarence Platter's Death Due to Automobile Colliding with Telephone Pole

  Clarence Platter, aged 25, of Garrett, died Saturday night at 10 o'clock at 
the Wenzel Hospital, as the result of a fracture of the skull and other injuries 
sustained last Thursday night when his automobile crashed into a telephone pole 
on the road between Meyersdale and the National Highway.  Platter was 
accompanied by a lady companion, who escaped injury.  A dense fog which 
prevailed in this section at the time of the accident was held accountable for 
the wreck.  Platter was thrown from the car and landed on the concrete road on 
his head.
  The unfortunate young man was a son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Platter.  He is 
survived by his parents and these brothers: Glen R., Raymond R., and Allen R., 
all at home.  
  Funeral services were conducted at the parental home on Wednesday morning at 
10 o'clock by Rev. George L. Detweiler.  Interment in the Fairview Cemetery at 
Garrett.  W. C. Price was the funeral director in charge.

Meyersdale Republican, April 24, 1930
