Ed Eygabroad Killed When Side-Swiped by Truck

Ed Eygabroad, who spent most of his life in Wellsburg, was killed early Thursday morning near Adel, Iowa, when his car was side-swiped by a truck which he met on the side of a hill. The front of the heavy truck crushed in the top and left side of the Eygabroad car. The injured man was rushed to the hospital. He was dead 30 minutes later when the hospital was reached. In the seat with him was his four year old son. It is believed the little fellow was asleep when the collision took place. He was only slightly scratched.

The steering wheel of Eygabroad's car was driven into his chest. A bolt from the car was driven into his temple. A leg and arm were broken. He did not regain consciousness after he was struck. The car was left a total wreck. Eygabroad had been to a birthday party for his son and it was about one o'clock in the morning when he was returning home.

Funeral services were held at Adel last Sunday where burial was made.

Ed Eygabroad was 49 years old. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Eygabroad. The family moved here when Ed was a small boy and he grew up here. Ed left here about 17 years ago and with the exception of short periods when he returned, he was away ever since. He was married twice. His second wife and ten children survive. There are five surviving children from each wife. There are three brothers and five sisters living. The brothers are Charley, Earl and Joe. The sisters are Mrs. Cole, St. Joe, Mo., Mrs. Stinson, Trenton, Mo., Mrs. Will Garl, Mrs. Frank Lutz and Mrs. Pearl Lowe, Wellsburg.

Relatives from here who were at the funeral at Adel Sunday were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lutz, Mr. and Mrs. Will Garl, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Eygabroad, Earl Eygabroad, Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Lowe, Miss Reynolds and Ella Mae Loof.
