Clay City Times - Nov. 20, 1941 The remains of John Creech and three sons were brought to Wolfe county for burial Thursday, November 13. They were killed in Comstock, Michigan. Mr. Creech was taking the children to school on Monday morning through a snow storm and at a railroad crossing a freight train passed. Mr. Creech, not seeing an approaching passenger train, started to cross the track and his car was struck by the train which killed the three children, Junior, 12, Charles, 10 and Joel, 8 instantly. Mr. Creech was injured but lived until Wednesday. Mrs. Creech and one small son survive. After their burial at High Falls, Mrs. Creech was returning to the home of her father Rev. Noah Creech, at Lombard in her bother, Sidney Creech's car when it was struck by a coal truck. She and her baby son, had a narrow escape. The driver did not stop. Mrs. Creech has the sympathy of many people. When four of a family are taken at once it is almost unbearable but God has promised to us that he will not put more on us than we are able to bear. In a later paper, Jan. 8, 1942 We read in the High Falls news in the Dec. 25th issue of the Times that Earl Peck who was injured in the car wreck that killed John Creech and his three small sons, was at home and able to walk with crutches which we are glad to hear. The writer does not know Mr. Peck but Mr. Creech, with his family, has visited and attended Church here and was known as a good citizen. He was a member of the Baptist church. Carole
