Three Killed When Car Strikes Bridge
PARENTS AND INFANT SON OF WAYNE COUNTY, OHIO VICTIMS OF CRASH
Sugarcreek, Ohio.—A large congregation of sorrowing friends and relatives attended triple funeral services at the Walnut Creek Mennonite church Sunday afternoon, Nov. 8, for Niles and Valna Mast and their one-year-old son Steven, who were fatally injured Nov. 5 when their car crashed into a bridge abutment on Route 76 one mile south of the Wayne-Holmes county line.
Rev. Robert Secrest of the New Pittsburgh church and Rev. Paul R. Miller of Walnut Creek officiated at the services, attended by an estimated 1,200 persons.
Lone survivor of the tragedy was a three-year-old son, Craig, who escaped with minor injuries.
The family was enroute home after Mr. Mast’s night shfit [sic] at the Timken Roller Bearing Co. plant at Wooster and it was thought he may have dozed off at the wheel. The child was dead upon arrival at the hospital and the parents passed away a short time after admittance.
Mr. Mast is survived by his father, Emery A. Mast, three brothers and five sisters. Mrs. Mast was the former Valna Imhoff, daughter of Harvey and Helen Imhoff of Wooster.
