Truck Hit On Breslau Area Line

A Breslau district farmer and his three young children, were killed instantly late yesterday afternoon, when their pick-up truck was struck by a twin-diesel freight train, on township road 1, near Shantz Station. Dead are Howard Levi Rudy, 43, of RR 2. Breslau; his two daughters, Nancy Ann, 10 and Phyllis Marie, 8 and son, Walter Eugene, 5. The accident took place on a railway crossing at the Waterloo-Wellington county line, only a few hundred yards from the Rudy farm laneway and about 10 miles east of Kitchener. RETURN FROM SCHOOL
Mr. Rudy was returning from Vance School, about 11/2 miles south of his farm, after picking up his two daughters. The young boy, who doesn't attend school, went along for the ride. The truck was struck on the passenger side of its cab, by the westbound freight train, wrapped itself around the front of the engine and was carried down the tracks for half a mile. The railway tracks run parallel to the Rudy farm buildings. The wrecked truck and its four victims, were carried past the Rudy home, where Mrs. Rudy was in the barn cleaning out a milk tank. She said she heard a "bump" at the time of the impact, but thought it could have been a noise made by cows, shuffling in their stalls.
INQUEST PLANNED
Dr. C. C. Belyea, coroner, said an inquest will be held. He described the victims' injuries as "very extensive" and was of the opinion death was instantaneous. "It was one of the worst tragedies I have seen in this area," he said. A postmortem was performed on Mr. Rudy, at K-W Hospital today. Howard Hicks, 43 Chrisholme Ave., Toronto, in charge of the train, told Waterloo Township Chief Livingstone, he noticed the truck on the tracks but was unable to halt the diesel in time. The truck started to fall apart after it reached a laneway, directly behind the Rudy home, more than a quarter mile from the main crossing. DEBRIS STREWN
A wheel with chains, a hubcap and other pieces of debris were strewn along the tracks. The crossing where the tragedy took place has no signals and is unlighted. There were no known witnesses. Police said the truck's tires left 21 feet of skid marks, leading to the tracks. One theory is that the truck, a 1953 model, stalled on the tracks. The accident occurred at 4: 35 p.m. A member of the train crew notified police. Chief Livingstone said there haxe been many tragic accidents in the township, but I think this is one of the worst in which I have taken a part in the investigation Assisting the chief were constables, John Stevenson, Nyle Soehner and Donald Herman. Chief Livingstone removed the bodies from the twisted wreckage.
SURVIVORS LISTED
Besides his wife, Mr. Rudy is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Rudy, RR 1, Hespeler: two brothers, Arthur of Waterloo and Wilfred of Edmonton; three sisters, Mrs. Homer (Anna) Burkhardt, RR 5, Galt: Mrs. Melvin (Margaret) Bearinger, RR 3, Waterloo and Mrs. Jesse (Lucile) Markle, RR 1, Hespeler. Mrs. Rudy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Lichti, live at 236 Alexandra Ave., Waterloo. The former Erma Lichti, Mrs. Rudy was once employed at the John Forsyth Ltd. plant in Waterloo. The bodies are at the Harry K. Stager Funeral Home, 566 Queen St., Preston, until Friday night. Funeral service will be conducted, Saturday, at 2: 30 p.m., at the Wanner Mennonite Church, Beaverdale (near Hespeler). Rev. Merle Shantz will officiate.

___________________________

Snyder.--Sarah Reist Snyder, wife of Levi Snyder, deceased ten years ago, was born July 23, 1862, near Kossuth; died at her home on the farm now owned by Bro. Clarence Rudy near Hespeler, Ont., July 27, 1941; living just four days in her 80th year. On this farm she and her husband lived ever since they were married, Sept. 17, 1884. All her married life and ten years since her husband,s death, was lived on the above-mentioned farm, except the last three years she spent the winter season with her daughter, Mrs. Frank Henry of Elkhart, Ind. She leaves to mourn her departure a family of 10 children, 40 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren. Of the immediate family there are 2 sons (Abel of North Carolina, and Gordon of Guelph) and 8 daughters (Mrs. B. B. Shantz, Preston, Ont.; Mrs. Clayton Biehn, Saskatchewan; Mrs. Gordon Hagey, Galt, Ont.; Mrs. Clarence Rudy, Hespeler; Mrs. Isaiah Kinzie, Guelph, Ont.; Mrs. Frank Henry, Elkhart, Ind.; Mrs. Menno Moyer, Blair, Ont.; and Mrs. Howard Weber, Kitchener). Two sisters also survive her, one in Michigan and the other in Port Elgin. She was a member of the Wanner Mennonite Church, and when health permitted she was always there taking an active interest in all the work of the congregation. As we see from the above, she lived 57 years on the site of the earthly home which she and her husband were instrumental in building; but she has gone to her heavenly home. Sister Snyder loved to sing, and the last hymn she was heard to sin a few days before her death was:

"My heav'nly home is bright and fair,
Nor pain nor death can enter there;
Its glitt,ring tow,rs the sun outshine,
That heav,nly mansion shall be mine."
