Carnegie Fund awards medals to 23 heroes
Twenty three individuals were cited by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission for heroism in saving lives. Four awards were posthumous, with one Silver Medal going to a Texas rancher who risked his life during a blizzard to rescue a family in a snowbound truck. The rest received Bronze Medals, including a Copenhagen widow of a dead hero. Pensions were granted to widows of two drowning victims and to a driver who stayed at the wheel of a burning truck to protect pedestrians.
