Two young men, Wesley G. Faber, aged 18, of Laurens [Otsego Co., NY], R.D.1, and J. Gordon Shoglund, aged 18, of West Laurens, died early last Thursday morning while being transported in the Oneonta city ambulance to the Fox Memorial Hospital. They were victims of an automobile collision that took place that morning two miles east of West Laurens. Troopers of the Oneonta State Police post, who investigated stated that Faber was the owner and operator of the Plymouth coach in which he and Shoglund were going to work on the federal flood control project at West Oneonta. At a curve and downgrade, on snow-covered pavement, the car went out of control, skidded off the highway and back again and came into contact with a truck of Robert Foley Construction Company, of Binghamton. The steel boom, part of the regular equipment which was being carried in its usual place on the side of the truck penetrated the Plymouth car and fractured the skulls of both its occupants. The ambulance was called, responded promptly and the youths were taken at once to Oneonta, but both had expired on arrival at the hospital. Dr. Norman W. Getman, of Oneonta, Otsego County Coroner, ruled that death was accidental. [Bainbridge News & Republican, Dec. 6, 1945]
