Patti: Maybe a look up of the Obituary would give details of the accident which would lead to a look up of the Daily Papers to see how they wrote up the accident. >>>>Mr. Marion C. Johmson, 616 East Spruce St., Canton, IL 61520----Tel#: 309-647-2455 has made a survey of the funeral homes in Fulton County and recorded the deaths each funeral home handled-andmost of them has a short obituary with the recording. You might hit pay dirt with a contact to Marion. He is not on the internet.
