Luther Graf and Frederick 'Seeger,
of West of Saline, Killed
Instantly-Saturday.
One of those terrible tragedies that
are happening every day, struck
with sickening force near home Saturday, when two young men of west
of Saline were instantly killed in a
head-on collision near Cambridge
Junction at 7 o'clock in the morning.
A little earlier, Frederick Seeger,
25, Luther Graf, 25, of Saline, Lawrence Rump, 28, Bernard Siefker, 30,
Joseph Siefker, 38, and John Foss,
55, all of Milan, had started on a
hunting trip. It is presumed that
they were driving pretty fast and
when near Cambridge Junction they
collided head-on with a truck being
driven by Leo King, 35, of Detroit,
who has since admitted that he had
probably fallen asleep at the wheel,
being exhausted from three long
trips without rest. John Stanley of
Detroit was riding with King at the
time of the accident.
Mr. Rump also was instantly killed; Bernard Siefker died in a Jackson hospital Saturday night, Joseph
Siefker .passed away in the Bixby
hospital,' Adrian, Saturday afternoon;
John Foss died in Bixby hospital on
Monday.
Luther Graf was the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Albert Graf, and is survived
by his parents and five brothers,
Raymond of Piatt, Erwin, Ann Arbor, Walter at home, Harold, Wyandotte, and Willard of Ypsilanti.
Frederick Seeger is survived by
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew
Seeger; two brothers, Carl and Matthew, and two sisters, Lofena and
Elsie. ---•..--- -■■
The stricken families have the
deepest sympathy of all in their be*
reavements.
Double funeral .services were held
for the young men Tuesday afternoon
at 1:30 at the Graf residence and'at
2 o'clock at Trinity Lutheran-church,
Rev. Adolf Lederfer officiating.
MBS. ELEANOR COTTON
Eleanor Pennington/ daughter of
the late John and Mary Auietta Pennington, was "born in Macon January
13th, 1852, and passed away December 13th, 1935.
On April ,8th, 1872, she was married to Wilmot P. Cotton. They settled in Macon where she spent the
greater part of her life.
To this union were born six children-'; $he youngest child, a son, passect
away in infancy.
■■ "Surviving' are five children, "three
grandchildren and one great-grandchild; . also two sisters and ©ne
brother.

MRS. AUSTIN WHITE
■Lizzie Belle Harmon, daughter of
Austin and Elizabeth Harmon, was
born in Plymouth, Wayne county
August 16, 1861, and came with her
parents to the farm where her sister
now resides when she was two years
old.
She was united in marriage to
Austin M. White January 24, 1882.
She was of a sunny, cheerful disposition. Although she had had sev
eral serious sick spells and undergone
a serious operation she had surprised
her relatives many times when she
survived them, but she had not been
well physically for a number of
years,' although able to be up and
around and assist her husband with
their housework most of the time.
After h_er marriage to Mr. White
they lived in Saline township for a
number of years and then moved to
Ypsilanti, where they resided ten
years, moving from there to a farm
near Dixboro where they lived a few
years. For the past 14 years they
had made their home in Saline.
She was a member of Queen City
Hive of the Maccabees in Ypsilanti
and also a Pythian Sister, and during her residence in Ypsilanti she
was commander of Queen City Hive
for a few years. She was a member
of the Methodist church. She made
friends wherever she lived and will
be sadly missed by her many friends
in Saline, Ypsilanti and other communities as well as by her relatives.
She is survived by her husband;
one son, Harry H. White of Ann Arbor, one son, Rafe A. dying when 7
years old; a^ sister, Mrs. George
Reese of Milan township; two grandchildren, five nephews and a niece
besides a number of cousins.
SALINE ROTARY CLUB
At the regular weekly meeting of
the Rotary Club, at the Tavern last
Thursday noon, quite a little time
was given to discussing ways and
means of raising . Saline's quota, a
little more than a hunrred dollars,
for Boy Scout work locally and in
the county for the coming year.
The club also enjoyed a. visit by
the boys' quartet of the high school,
who rendered several pleasing selections, with Dale Fosdick at the piano. Their spokesman wanted to tell
the members of the financial standing of the school athlethic asociation
and solicited then- support, and sold
a number of season tickets as .a result of their visit.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Interesting Program
New Teacher Added to Faculty
School plans last spring for this
year as anounced did not include any
extra "help on the faculty, although
classes in agriculture and shop work
were being added. In fact,- due to"
some reorganization in the grades
and the comparatively small enrollments in two or three, combinations
were made there so that one less
teacher was permitted in that department, After Miss! Hpmbeck was
elected at Lansing her position was
not re-filled. And up to Monday of
this week the, school operated with
one less teacher than last year, even
though with the large ninth grade
necessitating three extra classes
alone an effort was made for the
same number Of teachers in the high
school to carry the extra work. But
for some time it has" become more
and more obvious that more help
would have to be had if possible.
While in extra session recently the
Board of Education authorized one
more teacher to "be hired to be employed in the Junior 5Pgh mathematics and history department.
Charles A. Maywood of Albion, a
graduate of Albion College, with extra work performed at the University of Michigan, and with some <six
years of teaching experience has
been engaged to assist in the sehooj
work. He will teach Junior High,
mathematics and history, and help
in the physical education work.

Luther Graf and Frederick 'Seeger, of West of Saline, Killed Instantly-Saturday. One of those terrible tragedies that are happening every day, struck with sickening force near home Saturday, when two young men of west of Saline were instantly killed in a head-on collision near Cambridge Junction at 7 o'clock in the morning.

It is presumed that they were driving pretty fast and when near Cambridge Junction they collided head-on with a truck being driven by Leo King, 35, of Detroit, who has since admitted that he had probably fallen asleep at the wheel, being exhausted from three long trips without rest. John Stanley of Detroit was riding with King at the time of the accident. Mr. Rump also was instantly killed; Bernard Siefker died in a Jackson hospital Saturday night, Joseph Siefker .passed away in the Bixby hospital,' Adrian, Saturday afternoon; John Foss died in Bixby hospital on Monday.

In fact,- due to" some reorganization in the grades and the comparatively small enrollments in two or three, combinations were made there so that one less teacher was permitted in that department, After Miss! Hpmbeck was elected at Lansing her position was not re-filled. And up to Monday of this week the, school operated with one less teacher than last year, even though with the large ninth grade necessitating three extra classes alone an effort was made for the same number Of teachers in the high school to carry the extra work.
