Aged Couple Killed Near Lake Shore Crossing
In Elmore on May 14 a 50 year old couple, Mr. and Mrs. Pred Krickhalm, were found lying together near the Lake Shore crossing after a freight passed at 9 13. The engine cut under the woman's chin, and the pair were thrown about 23 feet apart. The couple had just returned from a circus in Toledo and were seen passing the tracks to reach their home. Initial robbery speculation was dismissed as the man’s purse remained in his pocket and the watch was missing.
