Tom Kruse of Parkersburg, 89 year old retired farmer, was killed Monday night when he was struck by an automobile as he walked along Highways 20 and 14 at the west edge of Parkersburg. Police said the car was driven by William Mulder, 71, of Parkersburg, who had backed his car out of his driveway into the street and had just started ahead when he struck the aged man.
