It is taken from the newspaper that is in my family's collection, and I thought I'd share anything I could find to help others in geneology. If you see typos, they are mine unless I write "sic" after them, then you know it is the newspaper's. "CHILD IS CRITICALLY HURT IN FALL FROM PARK SLIDE" "In a fall from a sliding board in Franklin Park, Saturday, Sylvia Hodge, 2, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. WIlliam Hodge, 524 Mt. Calvary Av., suffered a skull fracture and was taken to Mt. Carmel Hospital and later removed to Children's Hospital. The childs condition was reported as critical." "BOY'S BODY RECOVERED" "Findlay, Ohio, Sept. 1- The body of Edward Smith, 10, missing since Tuesday, was found floatin gin a quarry pool here today. Police believed he drowned while swimming." "Two Overseas Veterans Die in Plane Crash" "Lockbouren Officers' Trainer Ship Falls Into South Side Corn Field" "Two Lockbourne Army Air Base officers, veterans of 30 missions over enemy territory with the Eighth Air Force in the Euopean theater, were killed at 1:45 p.m., Saturday, when their dula controle AT-6 Texan trainer plane crashed into a corn field south of the C. & O. roundhouse near Parsons Ave. Names of the mean, both B17 instructors, were reported by Lt. col. Benjamin F. McConnell, acting LAAB Commanding officer, as Capt. wAlker R. Peck, Jr.,24, Sioux City, Ia., and 1st Lt. Donald M. Joy, 27, Tacoma, Washington. Next of kin have been notified. The single engine trainer plane, a few of which are operated from Lockbourne to enable instructors to accumlate single engine flying time, took off from the base at 1:40 p.m. on a routine training flight and crashed five minutes later. Because of the dual control, it could not be ascertained which of the officers was piloting the plane, according to LAAB officials who are investigating the crash. Wreckage of the AT6 Texan was strewn for a radius of a quarter of a mile and it was necessary to rip the cockpit apart to release one of the bodies. The other was thrown clear of the wreckage, the officer apparently having tried to use his parachute. Those who saw the plane before the crash agreed it was traveling at a terrific speed. Mrs. Elber Elkins, 2611 Parsons Av., sitting on the front porch at her home, said it seemed to dive into the cornfield. James Stimmell, 235 Dexter Av., who served with the AAF in North Africa, and George Egich, 607 Lewis Av., heard the plane as they sat on the former's portch and Stimmell predicted that from the sound, the plane was going to crash, he said. George Heitz, employed at Clickenger Airport, near the scene, said he watched the plane until it disappeared in teh cornfield and then from the top of the hanger he saw smoke rising in the field. Ed Enderle, transmitter engineer for WHKC and editor of The Sunday Dispatch's shortwave radio collumn, was among those who watched the plane's maneuvers before the crash. he and Lt. Carl Lang of Cleveland noticed it as they left the WHKC transmitter, located five miles south of the city limits, and were among the first to reach the scene of the craft. "We saw the ship apparentl stunting," Mr. Enderle said, "It was flying at a very high altitude, climbing and then diving. It had dived twice and then came out fo the third dive very slowlly, at an extremly low altitude and flying at a terrific speed, but it failed to straighten out. "There was no loud crash or explosion but from where we were, about half a mile awy, we could see a great cloud of dust." Wreckage of the all-metal ship was thrown over the field for more than a quarter of a mile, he said. Both Capt. Peck adn Lt. Joy served as B17 pilots with the 8th Air Force in England and both had recently completed the B17 instructors' course at lockbourne, Capt. Peck reporting there in June and Lt. Joy last January. Both held the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal with Oak Left Clusters for combat missions. Capt. peck was the son of Maj. Gen. Walter R. Peck, AAF comomand pilot who recently returned to the United States after serving as commanding general of a B24 Liberator Wing with the 8th Air Force in England. His wife, Mrs. Mary C. Peck, resides in Columbus. Lt. Joy's wife resides at 349 E. Tulane Rd. and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wlliam D. Joy, live in TAcoma, Wash. Both bodies were removed to the Shoedinger & Co. Chapel."
