Fred Allen West
Died May 17, 1936, Norwich, NY
Fred Allen West, 42-year-old farm laborer, was killed instantly about 3:30 Sunday afternoon on the South New Berlin road [Chenango Co., NY], when he was thrown from the rear of a truck after the vehicle figured in a collision with the Cortland-Norwich-Oneonta bus which was traveling in the opposite direction. Adelbert S Barton of South State street operator of the truck in which West was riding, was taken into custody, following the accident, by Deputy Sheriff Frank J. Machio and Sergt. A.E. Young of the state police and charged with driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated. He was taken before justice H.H. Goodnow at South new Berlin and was ordered committed to the county jail when his arraignment was postponed until Tuesday morning before the justice. West was sitting on a trunk in the rear of the pickup truck driven by Barton. Riding on the seat with the driver was Loren Voorhis, brother-in-law of West, and Daniel Robbins. Voorhis was sitting between Robbins and the driver. The party was returning from South New Berlin, where they had been for the trunk, owned by West. As the machine approached a small concrete bridge near Washburne's corners, not far from Amberville, Barton pulled the vehicle sharply to the right and it hit a concrete guard post and then the side of the bridge. This caused the rear of the truck to go crosswise of the highway. The Cortland-Norwich-Oneonta bus driven by Lynn B. McKee of Cortland, was traveling toward South New Berlin, and the driver was unable to bring the bus to a stop in time to avoid a collision. The impact hurled West headfirst to the hard surface of the road. West was brought to the Breese funeral home, where, at the direction of Dr. E.W. Wilcox, coroner, Drs. L.T. Kinney and N.C. Lyster performed an autopsy. Death was due to a fractured skull. Voorhis, who was slightly hurt, was taken to the Chenango Memorial Hospital in the Breese ambulance, but the man was discharged from the institution after his slight injuries were dressed. Robbins, fourth member of the party was not located until about 9:30 Sunday night on Mechanic street. He told Deputy Sheriff F.J. Machio and District Attorney Glen F. Carter, who was called to investigate the fatality, that he was dazed and hurt in the collision and that he wandered away. He appeared at the home of friends on Mechanic street Sunday night and was told authorities were looking for him. About that time officers arrived. Robbins is a farmhand and has been working near White Store. Miss Hazel McKee, sister of the bus driver, was the only occupant of the bus, and neither she nor her brother were injured. The bus completed its trip to Oneonta and Norwich, but was more than an hour late in arriving here, having been delayed by the accident. Services for West will be held at the Breese funeral home at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Rev. N.S. McPherson officiating, with burial in South Plymouth. The victim of the accident is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Leon Voorhis of South State street, where he made his home when not working on farms in this section, and Mrs. Geo. Doyle of Guernsey and Academy streets. A borther, Perry West of Natoli avenue, also survives. Recently West had been employed by George Brazee on the latter's farm near Kirk. About 10 years ago he was injured while working in the woods when a tree fell upon him. It became necessary to amputate the right leg as a result of that accident. The brother, Perry West was hurt about 10 days ago when he fell from a telephone pole while working at McDonough. He is now confined to his home with his injuries.
