#% : WELL KNOWN ZION MAN KILLED WHEN TRAIN HITS AUTO The other is that as the train was eleven minutes late Mr. Wood-- man was of the opinion that it had | gone and that as he was somewhat | deaf he could not hear its approach. | The automobile, a Pontiac sedan.| PAGE TWO Two theories as to the cause of the accident are advanced by those who have made an investigation into . the tragedy. One is that as .\lr.l Woodman had driven his car but 200 feet before reaching the crossing ' after starting it, the motor of the machine had not become sufficiently | warmed and the machine stalled on | the strossing. | Percy Woodman, 56 years old, prominent in church and civic af-- tfairs of Zion, was killed instantly when his automobile was struck and demolished by a Chocago and North Western passenger train on the crossing over Shiloh Boulevard in Zion at 5:35 o'clock, Friday af-- ternoon. Percy Woodman Dies in Acci-- dent on North Western Crossing, Friday The body of the victim was car-- rled for more than 100 feet south of the crossing while the automobile caught on the pilot of the engine. was dragged for a greater distance and deposited alongside of the track mrear the Zion railroad station where the train was scheduled to stop. The train, a southbound local passenger train due at Zion at 5:24 o'clock was running eleven minutes late when the accident occurred. Crossing Near Plant Woodman, known as a careful driver, had left the plant of the Zion Publishing and Printing com-- pany, where he was employed as a pressman, a moment before the ac-- cident. He had driven over the cross-- ing which is a short distance west of the plant, with caution for many years. An open verdict was returned at Zion Saturday afternoon in the case of Pertcy Woouman The jury, however, . recommended that the North Western railroad take steps to protect its cross» ing on Shiloh 'boulevard until 6:15 p. m. or as long thereafter as necessary. At the present time -- the crossing gateman works only until §:15 p. m. Roaches have a retcullar method of »gglaying, says Nature Magazine.

The machine was wrecked beyond repair. Others See Crash The tragedy was witnessed by sev-- eral on the station platform and by the occupant of an automobile which was standing on the east side of the crossing to permit the train to pass. They state that Mr. Woodman evi-- dently unaware of the approach 'of the train, drove' past them and onto the track. The deceased who was the father of ten children, was regarded as one of the most faithful and stead-- lest employes in Zion iInstitutions. He likewise was highly respected as a citizen and a member of the, Zion church. The wife and children of the vic-- tim are prostrated by grief over the accident. Eight of the children, ran-- ging in ages from 34 years to 22 years, the oldest Irene, live at home. Two others, Brs. Earl Edwards and Mrs. Floyd Hostetter reside on ze kial avenue in Zion. & He was a member of the Zion guards, an honorary organization of men, appointed to serve as leaders in processions, as ushers or-- to carry out other duties of an essential or honorary nature in connection with gatherings of pageants of the church He was also a member of the traffic squad, a group named to eliminate traffic congestion and accidents in Zion. The body of the victim was placed in charge of Otis Scripter and his assistant, J. L. McCullough and re-- moved to the Scripter funeral estab-- lishment where an inquest was held at noon Saturday Mr. Woodman would have cele-- brated his 57th birthday on Christ-- mas day. His family as usual was preparing for the day, which be-- cause of the double. reason for cele-- brating was observed with more than ordinary fervor.
