    3. Bloomington (Bloomington, Monroe County, Indiana) Daily Telephone, June 20, 1928, pgs. 1 & 8. Note: Because of the length of the item and its being divided into sections with their own headings, I am dividing the posts into multiple items, using the sections and their headings. The newspaper story covers one full-page column on page 1 and the greater part of three full-page columns on page 8. "Doc" Deckard Takes News Home As soon as the Day ambulances started to Bloomington with the bodies of the four victims, "Doc" Deckard left by auto for Sullivan to carry the heart-breaking news to the dead man's wife and mother. When he walked into the home there with a saddened countenance, his unexpected appearance led Kenneth Deckard's wife to believe something was wrong. "What's the matter? Has anything happened to Kenneth" she asked. He told her. She returned to Bloomington with him last night and at 8 A. M. this morning the body of Kenneth Deckard was started overland to Sullivan. The funeral will be held there at two o'clock Friday and the burial will be at Antioch. Mrs. Deckard said her husband belonged to only one organizations-the Junior Mechanics. Deckard is survived by the wife, mother and a 3-year old son.
