[ADKINS, CHARLES HOWARD, GLASS, FAYE ELLSWORTH, GLASS, JUNE ELLA ANDERSON, GLASS, FRANK EMERY, GLASS, MARY GERTRUDE, GLASS NEVA JUNE, GLASS, ROY DEE] Maryville Daily Forum, Saturday, December 21, 1929, [p. 1] Entire Family Killed When Train Hits Truck On 71 Near Clarinda Six of Fay E. Glass Family and Charles Adkins Die in Crash Had Lived in County Family Formerly Resided Near Hopkins---Were Returning from Christmas Shopping Trip The joyful spirit of Christmas suddenly was turned to deepest grief for the Glass and Adkins families of Nodaway county and Page County, Ia., about 7:30 o’clock last night when seven persons riding in a truck were killed when a Burlington railway train crashed into the truck at Clarinda, Ia. Seven persons, six of them members of the Fay E. Glass family of College Springs, Ia., just over the Missouri-Iowa line north of Elmo, who formerly lived near Hopkins and Charles Adkins, age 23, of College Springs, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Adkins, who live three miles south of Elmo, were killed outright. The members of the party were riding in the Glass truck, some of them huddled in blankets back of the cab. The truck was struck by the Burlington railway gas-electric coach on the tracks, which cross federal highway No. 71 on the south edge of Clarinda. The glass doors of the cab of the truck were frosted and obscured view of the track. Family Killed Instantly Glass, age 37, his wife, June, 35, their four children, Frank, 13, Dee. 9, Mary 6, and Neva 4, and Adkins were killed instantly by the Burlington train No. 49, eastbound. The bodies were identified by Clarinda merchants with whom the families had traded during the day. Identification was by means of letters. John Anderson, of Hopkins, the father of Mrs. Glass, was notified by James Thompson, gas station attendant, and went immediately to Clarinda. Thompson formerly had worked for the Sam Robbins family near Hopkins and knew Anderson and Glass. The Glass family lived at Hopkins about three years ago. Thomas Adkins and his son, Almond, went to Clarinda last night when informed of the accident. Arrangements for the funral services had not been completed this morning. Had Been Shopping The accident closed in tragedy a happy afternoon of Christmas shopping which the family had spent here. They had come to Clarinda about 3 o’clock and after making their purchases had met Adkins who was returning home to spend Christmas with his wife and two children after shucking corn for some time in Lamoni County, near Sioux City. Glass, a truck driver, had his Chevrolet truck loaded with Christmas purchases and was starting home, driving south on the highway. Although the crossing is on flat ground and the view is unobstructed, he apparently did not see the train. After coming from the south, the track, part of a branch from Corning, Mo., to Clarinda, swings almost directly east across the highway. Lights of trains strike the crossing only for a short distance. Truck Hit in Center The truck was struck squarely in the center, and its shattered wreckage was strewn along the track for 600 feet before the train was stopped. The bodies of Glass and Adkins were hurled to the ground about fifty feet from the crossing. Those of the other five persons fell from the train at various points between there and where the engine stopped. The bodies of the children were so mutilated as to make identification of each impossible. The train, consisting of a small gas-electric locomotive and one coach, was due in Clarinda at 7:30 o’clock and was a few minutes late. Floyd Bradley, engineer; Lew Strans, conductor, and N. H. Spann, brakeman, all of Clarinda, said the train was traveling about thirty-five miles an hour. The engineer did not see the truck until too late to slacken speed before the crash, he said. Frost on Cab Windows The truck had a cab and it is believed frost on the windows and windshield may have prevented Glass from seeing the train. It was believed Mrs. Glass and one of the younger children were riding in the cab, with the others wrapped in blankets in the rear. James Thompson, who operates a filling station just north of the crossing, had left his station a few minutes before the accident, and saw the truck pass as he was walking to his home a short distance north on the highway. He said it was traveling fairly fast. First Crash at Crossing The bodies were taken to the undertaking morgue at Clarinda. It is not likely that an inquest will be held. Sheriff William McClelland said the crossing, which is just inside the city limits, is not considered dangerous as no buildings or other obstructions on the west prevent a clear view. Old residents say this is the first accident at the crossing. There is no warning bell at the crossing. The Glass family had lived in College Springs, twelve miles southwest of here, since September, moving there from Coin, where they had lived two years. Mrs. Glass’ parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Anderson, live at Hopkins, Mo. Where relatives of Mr. Glass live is not known, but it is believe his father is in Wyoming. Charles H. Adkins was married four years ago to Miss Mildred Bussard of College Springs, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Bussard, College Springs. They have two children, Charles Curtis, nearly 1 year old and Marilyn, age 2. After their marriage they lived for a time on a farm near Elmo, but later moved to their home at College Springs. Three brothers and three sisters also survive, Ted of Shambaugh, Ia., Earl at home, and Almond of north of Elmo, Mrs. Jesse Murren, Burlington Junction, Mrs. Jack Davis, Elmo, and Mrs. Walter Dreads, Burlington Junction.
