Details of Terrible Adcident at Gibson
burg, Ohio, On 5th Instant
The News last week told of the
shocking death of Edna Ferren
berg, wife of Mr. A. II. Miller,
at Gibsonburg, Ohio. From a
Gibsonburg newspaper we get a
more detailed account of the af
fair. Mrs. Miller's mother and
children formerly resided m Mc-
(Jonnellsburg and moved to Ohio
in 1684.
Mrs. A. II. Miller, wife of A. II
Millor. proprietor of the Gibson
burg Coal & Ice Co., and one of
Gibsonburg's foremost women,
met instant death last Friday aft
ornoon, May 51 about 3 o'clock
and Kay Zorn, son of Mr. and
Mrs F. W. Zorn, sustained se
vere injuries, when an automobile
in which they were drivmg was
struck at the Mam street cross
ing by passenger train due at
Gibsonburg at 3 p. m.
That Ray Zorn, nephew of the
victim and the only other occu
pant of the car, did not meet a
like fate, is miraculous. That he
escaped with his life may be at-
' tnbuted to the fact that he clung
with wonderful desperation to the
steering wheel and was, conse
quently, not thrown from the ma
chine with as much force as his
companion. lie sustained a se
vere cat on the left shoulder, sev
eral scalp wounds were inllicted,
his back and both hands were cut
and bruised, and the back of his
left hand badly cut.
The fatality occurred while Kay
and his aunt were on their way
home from Tinney, to which place
they had gone for Mrs. Miller's
daughter, Faye, who has been
teachiug school in that village.
Friday was the last day of school,
and they had gone to bring her
home. The closing of the schools
was celebrated with an old fash
ioned picnic, teachers, pupils and
many citizens joining in the pleas
ures of the day. They had been
accompanied on the trip to the
picnic grouuds by Miss Garnet
Smith. When the scene ot the
festivities was reached, Faye was
loath to leave, and decided to re
main until later in the day. She
persuaded Miss Smith to remain
and take in the picnic. Shortly
after Ray and Mrs. Miller started
on their return trip. Ray was
driving the machine, while, his
aunt occupied the seat by his
side.
That neither of the occupants
of the auto saw or heard the ap
proaching train until tt was too
late is evident. The engine crash
ed into the tonneau of the car,
hurling it into the air and throw
ing it about sixty feet down South
Main street. The machine, a
five passenger touring car, bo
longing to F. W. Zorn, (husband
of Nora Ferrenburg,) was com
pletely demolished. One of the
tires, from which all the spokes
had been torn, was found on the
ground formerly occupied by the
Hughes Machine Shop. Mrs
Miller was thrown from the auto
mobib with such force that the
momentum of her body carried
her over the pavement for a dis
tance equal to that of which the
car was thrown, and she struck
her face against the curbing of
the pavements on the east side
of the street. When pickod up
hor head was hanging over the
curbing, while her body rested
on the lawn.
Whether Zorn was thrown,
from his seat or not is not known.
It is generally believed, however,
that he clung to the wheel until
tho car finally landed, when the
sudden stopping pitched him out
on the ground, lie was tho first
to rercli the side of his aunt, to
whom he rushed as soon as he
regained bis feet. The automo
bile landed beside the curbing on
tho west sido of the street, al
most opposite the spot where the
body of Mr. Miller was found.
Tho awful impact of the engine
and the auto threw the latter
with such force that it was com
pletely turned around and faced
the opposite direction to which
it had been going. Farts of the
machmo were scattered along
the pavement, while pieces of the
wind shield, which was complete
ly shattered, were strewn all
along the course of the machine
after being hit.
Mrs. Miller returned homeless
than three weeks ago from Up
land, Cal., where she had spent
several mouths, having been call
ed there by the death of a brother-in-law,
Perry Smith.
Mrs. Miller ia survived by her
mother, Mrs. Catherine Ferren
burg, her husband, two daugh
ters, Miss Faye, who taught
school this year at Tinney, and
Miss Leah, who is studying to be
a trained nurse at a Toledo hos
pital There are also three sis
ters, Mrs. F. W. Zorn, Miss Olive
Ferrenbnrg, of Gibsonourg, and
Mrs. Forry Smith, of Upland,
Cal.

LOCAL HISTORY.

ing the day. I remember well
many of the copies I used to try
to imitate. "Comparisons are
odious." "Many men ot many
minds, many birds of many
kinds." "Procrastination is the
thief of time" and "Evil commu
nications corrupt good manners,"
were some of them. However,
not all copies were of this char
acter. Some of tho more pro
gressive teachers would write, as
a copy, a sentence expressing a
scientific truth, a fact of history
or something about some one
whose name was famous. Goose
quill pens went out of use in Wells
Valley schools about 1854 or 1855.
The difficulty, in the matter of
classification, in tbe schools, ow
ing to the use of too many differ
ent text books was got rid of in
1854. At a meeting of the board
of school directors, held on Oct.
20th, of that year, a series of text
books, to be used in all tbe
schools, was adopted. Five di
rectors were present at that
meeting and their action was
unanimous. It seems to me that
it is due to the memory of those
faithful directors, every one of
whom hud seen years of service
as a director, who made this long
stride in advance, the first action
of kind m Wells Valley and no
doubt the first in Fulton county,
that I should here record their
names. They were Joshua Ed
wards, David Osborne, Henry
Keith, John Sharrer and John S.
Huuck. At that time the school
law authorized directors to adopt
text books but did not make it
obligatory upon them to do so.
This in connection with the fact
that they knew their action would
arouse bitter criticism and op
position, serves to show in plain
est light, that they were men,
who had at heart, the best inter
ests of the schools and that there
was not a self seeker or time
server among them.
To show that these old direc
tors knew just what they were
doing, I give a list of the books
they adopted. They were Mc
Guffey's readers and spellers,
Davie's series of mathematics,
Bullion's grammar, Mitchell's
geography, Olinstead's philoso
phy, Olney's astronomy, Web
ster's dictionary and the Bible,
Many changes in text books, for
use in Wells Valley schools, have
been made since that day, nearly
CO years ago, but has there any
improvement ever been made
since that time?
In 1853, there was a black
board suspended on the wall in
the old Gibson house or two of
them, rather; they contained
about 15 feet of surface and hung
on leather straps. When they
were first placed there I do not
know but it was prior to 1851
There was no blackboard in any
other school house until 1858. At
that time a blackboard was placed
in No. 2 school house and another
in No. 4. Therejwere no crayons
in use before 1805. Chalk was
used. It came in large hemis
pherical blocks. Up to 1875,
teacher or pupils or both paid for
chalk, crayons, brooms and wa
ter pails. No wash basin could
be seen in any Wells Valley
school house in those days. They
were not needed. Gibson's Run
was very close to the old Gibson
house, Roaring Run right by the
Biven house and a beautiful little
stream murmured within a few
feet of the Camp spring house,
then why buy wash basins? How
they got along at No. 2 whero
there was neither spring nor
stream I know it. There were
no towels but what of that? Did
not every country boy a'nd girl
carry a good serviceable cotton
handkerchief at all times and one
that could be depended upon in
any emergency?
Globes, outline maps, counting
frames, reading charts, and j11s
worths writing books were placed
in all the schools in 1867 The
action of the school board in do
insr this resulted in the perma
nent ietirement at end of his
term, of every member who voted
in favor of expense necessary to
introduce them. Among these,
was that veteran director J. G.
Cunningham, than whom no more
faithful, true and conscientious
school director ever served any
people. He was held responsible,
by a certain class of people, for
having most influenced the mem
bers of the school board in their
action. That class of people were
uotyet ready to endorse such
costly foolishness as furnishing
schools with globes, maps, read
ing cards, counting frames, etc.
