PARENTS OF ELIAS FRANTZ MET WITH TRAGIC DEATH ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO At the funeral Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock, of the late Elias W. Frantz, watchman at the Avon crossing of the Reading Railroad, and unfortunate victim of a hit-and-run motorist as he was walking home from his work Sunday night last, relatives recalled the sad fact that his parents were also victims of automobile accidents. His mother and father, Jacob and Mary, on a Sunday last in the fall of 1915, attended services in Royer's Church of the Brethren, located between Myerstown and Richland. They were driving home in a buggy when an auto driven by persons who had sat beside him at the service, tried to pass the vehicle and ripped off the rear wheel of the buggy. Mr. and Mrs. Frantz were thrown out, and Mrs. Frantz died several days later as a direct result of her injuries. Mr. Frantz lived six months longer, but his death was attributed indirectly to the accident, or at least his end was hurried thereby. The funeral of the son, who resided at Walnut Street, was held at the Rohland Funeral Home The Rev. Will F. Baro, pastor of St. Matthews Lutheran Church, East Lohman St., officiated. Burial was made at Long's Church cemetery, near Stouchsburg.
