      Calvin Patterson Fatally Injured

      Calvin Patterson, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Patterson of Cass City, was fatally injured when the Buick sedan he was driving was struck by the morning train at the P., O. & N. R. R. crossing on West Main St., at nine o'clock Saturday. His skull was crushed and he suffered severe scalp wounds and other injuries about the head. He did not regain consciousness and death came about six hours after the accident.

      The sedan was carried down the track ahead of the engine for several hundred feet before the train could be stopped and was totally wrecked. Mr. Patterson was on his way to the home of his sister, Mrs. Claud Wood, who lived a mile west of town, when the accident occured.

      This is the second accident at the Main Street crossing in less than three weeks. At the first on March 10, Alex Brian and Glenn Wright were struck by the south-bound passenger train. Both men were injured, but not seriously, and both have recovered.

      Calvin Patterson was born in Cass City on May 1, 1907, and has spent his entire life here. The young man was a senior in high school and treasurer of his class, and would have graduated next June. He was an excellent student, had won honors in his high school studies, was prominent in high school athletics, and was a young man who commanded the respect of his acquaintances. The sudden passing has caused great sorrow in the community.

      The funeral was delayed until Wednesday because of the absence of his brother, Grant, on a trip to Western states. He was located at Salt Lake City, Utah, on Sunday and arrived home Tuesday evening. The service was held at the family residence at two o'clock and was conducted by Rev. C.F. Smith, pastor of the Evangelical church, of which Mr. Patterson was a member. Members of the Class of '26 attended the funeral in a body and interment was made in Elkland cemetery. Business houses were closed during the funeral hour.

      Besides his parents, deceased leaves one brother, Grant, and one sister, Mrs. Claude Wood, both of Cass City.

      Out of town relatives and friends at the funeral were Lloyd Phelps of St. Thomas, Ont., Mrs. John Austin of Fort Wayne, Ind., Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Schleuter of Kendalville, Ind., Mr. and Mrs. H.H. Patterson of Flint, Mrs. James Starr and daughter, Evan, and Earl Starr and Buel Starr, all of Pontiac, Fred Striffler of Caro, Harry Hartshorne of Deckerville, Mr. and Mrs. Thad Patterson and daughter, Vernice, of Argyle, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Stiffler of Detroit, D.C. McIntyre of Freeland, and Mr. and Mrs. Bueschlen and Mrs. Dorman of Snover.
