afterward completing his early studies at Northern university at Ada.
He was subsequently telegraph operator at Malvern on the Cleveland and
Pittsburgh railroad for a time then accepted a position in the office
of his brother, U. C. DeFord, the probate judge. [Sentence lost to a

June 1, 1906, was merged into the Cummings Trust company. In 1911 he
formed a partnership with R. E. Miller and together they had the first
agency in the county of the Ford and Dodge cars. In September, 1916,
the partnership was dissolved and Mr. DeFord retired. On October 14,

was a unique organization. He acted as secretary, treasurer and
assistant director. He was a diligent student of the cornet and for

regiment of the Ohio National Guard band of Cleveland. With this
organization he played an engagement at the St. Louis World's Fair in

highly, as many became professional men, and referred with pride to the
days when he was a member of the college band.
Fraternally Mr. DeFord was a member of the Al Koran shrine at Cleveland
and a Knight Templar. Since the organization of the Cummings Trust
Company he served faithfully and continuously on the board of

affairs. Mr. DeFord was one of the wealthiest men in the community. He

Former Carrollton Couple Killed At Crossing Crash
Children also die when car is struck by locomotive
Thomas Newell, his wife and their two small children were instantly
killed last Saturday night when the automobile in which they were
riding was struck by an engine on the Pennsylvania railroad at the
Fourth-st crossing in Canton. The family were returning to their home
at 411 Rowland-ave N. E., after a visit with Mr. Newell's mother and
stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. James Miller of Carrollton, who were guests of
Mrs. John Edie, 1826 Fourth-st N. E. Mrs. Edie is a sister of Mr. Newell.
Mr. Newell was driving a delivery truck owned by the Hoppsetter Baking
company, where he is employed, and it is believed that poor visibility
caused by accommodating the whole family in the small seat, was
responsible for the accident. The locomotive was a switch engine and
was returning after assisting a heavy train through the city tracks.
Three of the bodies were thrown clear of the wreckage but the fourth,
that of Mr. Newell, was found on the pilot of the engine. All were dead
when rescuers reached the scene. The tragedy occurred at 10:30.
Although the Fourth-st crossing is considered a dangerous one, no
watchman is on duty at night. Buildings obstruct the view on both
approaches to the tracks and street lights are at a considerable
distance from the intersection. Motorists have only the bell or whistle
of the locomotive to warn them of impending danger.
Mr. and Mrs. Newell were 23 years old. One of the children, Dorothy,
was 8 years of age and the other, Helen, 8 months of age. Besides his
mother Mr. Newell is survived by three brothers, Fred of Dell Roy; Earl
of Indianapolis and Chester of Canton and Mrs. Bert Parker of Sherodsville.
The bodies were brought here Monday evening to the home of Mr. and Mrs.
James Miller. Funeral services for the entire family were held Tuesday
afternoon at 1 o'clock from the Miller residence. Internment was made
