in Accident Saturday
A traffic fatality was recorded early Saturday in Brown County, and there were two more less serious accidents reported in Hillsboro over the weekend. Lawrence A. Culver, 32, Hammersville, formerly of the New Market area, was dead on arrival at Clinton Memorial Hospital, Wilmington, after a one-car accident at 1:25 a.m. Saturday on U. S. Rt. 50, a mile east of Fayetteville. The Georgetown post of the Ohio Highway Patrol said Culver was westbound in his 1974 Ford, when he apparently lost control of the car. It went off the right side of the road, striking two posts and traveling through a private lawn owned by [name removed], Fayetteville, Rt. 1. The car then slid broadside into a tree. Culver was rushed to the hospital by the Fayetteville Life Squad, but his injuries were too severe. Culver was a native of Piqua, born Aug. 31, 1942, to Charles W. and Anne C. Walton Culver. He was an assembler at American Laundry Machine Co., Cincinnati. He is survived by his father Charles W. Culver, Houston Rt. 1; his mother, Mrs. Anne Short, Rt. 2; his widow, the former [name removed] Phillips; three sons [names removed] all home; a sister Mrs. [name removed] Blue, Houston; and a brother, [name removed] Short, Rt. 1; and a paternal grandmother, Mrs. Etta Culver, Piqua. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday in Turner and Son Funeral Home, with the Rev. Taylor Jefferson officiating. Burial will be in the New Market Baptist Cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home between 4 and 9 p.m. Monday. |
