FOERG, of route 1, Star City, was killed at 2:30 p.m. Saturday when his 1935 Ford skidded on the ice of road 35 two miles north of Royal Center, and was hit by a tractor-trailer loaded with 11 tons of potatoes. Foerg, 24 years old, was a war veteran. His death was instantaneous from a crushed head. Mr. Foerg’s wife is the former Wilmetta GREGORY, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Omer GREGORY of this city. The fatality becomes the first of the year for Cass county, having occurred just 200 yards inside the Cass-Pulaski line. Going north enroute home from Logansport, Foerg was alone in the car. A Pennsy freight train on the paralleling tracks, was pouring out smoke which hung low over the highway. As Foerg entered the smoke, two tractor-trailers owned by the Venasia company of Indianapolis, were going south meeting Foerg. Finding his visibility reduced, Foerg apparently hit the brake, causing his vehicle to skid. It sideswiped the first of the tractors, driven by Richard SINKTON, Indianapolis, and was spun around. The car then slid into the path of the second tractor, driven by James MEREDITH, 39, of 1121 South Kenwood, Indianapolis, and was struck on the right side just in front of the side door. Foerg was thrown completely out of the car and into the center of the highway. The tractor-trailer went into a ditch but did not upset, and the Foerg car stopped on the right side of the highway in the other ditch, a comlete loss. Meredith sustained a sprained side, he said. The victim was a flying student in Logansport under the GI bill and had soloed 45 minutes Saturday from a local field. He apparently was on his way home when he met death by automobile accident. It was said he has been employed at Royal Center making house trailers. Funeral services will be conducted in St. Joseph’s Church in Winamac at 9:30 a.m. Burial will be in St. Joseph’s cemetery.
