Infant Daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John Massa Luckily Escapes Injury.
Mary, the 15-month-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Massa, of 95 South Adams street, met with
an accident Sunday morning about 8:30 o'clock at St. Peter's Catholic
church. The child was leaning against the screen at one of the second
story windows when it loosened and the child and screen fell. She fell
head foremost and in the course of her fall turned a somersault,
alighting on her back on the sod. She fell about fifteen feet and was
unconscious when picked up. Drs. Maglott, and Nichols were called. It
was found that no bones were broken and there was no evidence of
serious injury, the child seeming to be as well as usual today.

GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY OF MR. AND MRS. PETER OTT
Over Half a Century Ago Mr. Ott Cast His Lot In Mansfield Where He Has
Since Been Identified With Its Business and Official Life--Was Wedded
at Galion With a Girl Born In Baden, Who Preceded Him From Germany By
Eight Years.
In the home that has been theirs for forty-three
years, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Ott are quietly spending the day which marks
the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage. There is to be no formal
celebration of the occasion, but on Sunday there is to be a dinner for
the members of the family.
Peter Ott,
who is one of the best known and most highly respected among the
German-American citizens of Mansfield, has been a resident of this city
for more than fifty years. He was born in Plankstadt, Baden, Germany,
Dec. 14, 1834. As a boy of fourteen years he decided to learn the
barber business and two years later, just as he was about to enter
Heidelberg university to continue his studies, a letter received from
an uncle in Albany, N. Y., in which the boy was advised to come to
America. Little wonder that in young Peter, America loomed up
(unreadable) despite the protests of his parents he decided to seek his
fortune in the new world. Accordingly on April 1, 1851, he landed in
New York and went directly to Albany, where he remained for a year and
a half.
Then a letter from a friend in Sandusky brought him
to that city, where he remained for six months, coming to Mansfield in
1852. Arrived here he immediately engaged a barber shop under what is
now known as the old Wiler house.
GERMAN ARMY CALLS
The year 1856, marks an interesting incident in the
life of Mr. Ott. In Germany there is a law making military
service compulsory among the young men of the country. The fact that
Mr. Ott had been for several years a resident of another country did
not excuse him from this service and word reached him that his name had
been published among those who must appear at a certain time to go into
the army. Absence at the appointed time subjected the delinquent to
fine and imprisonment and the fine stood as a lien against the property
of the parents.
In order to arrange for a substitute it was
necessary for Mr. Ott to be on the ground and upon receiving word from
Germany he immediately set out for his old home in Baden.
Good fortune seemed to be on the side of the young
man for it chanced that he arrived at his home on the very day on which
the Duke of Baden was married, in honor of which event fines were
remitted in all cases such as that of Mr. Ott and a pardon was granted,
freeing them from the danger of imprisonment. The duke who granted his
pardon died only last fall.
RETURN TO AMERICA
Mr. Ott, after having arranged for a substitute to
serve for him in the German army, visited among his relatives until the
following spring, when he returned to America. Friends in Galion
induced him to locate there and he opened a barber ship in that place.
The business of barbering, as it is carried on in
Germany and as it was practiced fifty years ago by the subject of this
sketch, was quite different from that of the local tonsorial artist of
the present time and had something of surgery and dentistry mixed up
with it. The barber did the bleeding, the cupping and the
tooth-extracting in those days as well as the shaving and the
hair-cutting.
WEDS GALION GIRL.
But with all of these duties Mr. Ott was not too
busy to make the acquittance of an attractive German girl, also from
Baden, scarcely two hundred miles from his own Plankstadt.
And so it came about that on Jan. 24, 1858, Peter
Ott, was united in marriage to Miss Fredrica Bleily, in Galion.
Mrs. Ott was born in Krotzinger, Baden, Germany,
June 2, 1839, and came to America with her parents in 1843, her fourth
birthday anniversary having occurred while she was on the ocean bound
for the country which was to be her home.
Her parents settled immediately in Galion and in the
course of time she met the energetic young barber who had but recently
opened a shop there, and, as the fairy story says, they lived happily
ever afterward.
ENTERS NEW BUSINESS
Soon after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Ott moved to
Findlay, where they remained for a year, after which they decided to
come to Mansfield and Mr. Ott again opened a shop here which he
continued to operate until 1872, when he entered into a partnership
with John B. Netscher in the wholesale cider and vinegar business.
After having been associated in this partnership for
three years, Mr. Ott embarked in the same line of business for himself
and continued therein for 31 years or until about two years ago, when
he retired from active business.
PUBLIC AND FRATERNAL.
Mr. Ott's business ability and strict integrity
became so generally recognized during the years he has spent in
Mansfield that for eleven years he served in the city council. He was
also a member of the first board of elections in the city.
For twenty years he has been florist for the B.
& O. railroad company, looking after the keeping up of the flower
beds around the stations on the several divisions of the road. He still
holds this position.
In 1854 Mr. Ott was initiated into the mysteries of
Odd Fellowship in Richland lodge, No. 161 and in 1873 served a year as
district deputy, in 1865 he became a member of Mansfield lodge of
Masons.
HOME LIFE.
Forty-three years ago Mr. Ott purchased the home at
No. 60 North Diamond street, where they still reside.
In view of the fact that two golden wedding
anniversaries have come within this single week in Mansfield, it might
not be out of place to here mention several rather peculiar
coincidences in connection with the subjects of this sketch and Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Hildreth of Bartley avenue, who celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary on Monday.
The Ott home was purchased from the father of Thomas
Hildreth and at that time Mr. and Mrs. Hildreth lived just across the
alley to the north of that property. Mr. Ott and Mr Hildreth were born
during the same year and Mrs. Ott and Mrs. Hildreth were born during
the same year.
Of the seven children born to Mr. and Mrs. Ott, five
are living, they being Mrs. Walda Dehof, of Hollister, Cal., Mrs. Laura
Massa, of this city, Mrs. Josephine Herman, of Port Huron, Mich., Mrs.
Rosalia Butler, of Elizabeth, N. J., who at present is visiting here,
and Louis A. Ott, the well known local jeweler.
Mr. Ott has two sisters living in Germany and he
visited in his native land in 1866 and again in 1905, when he and Mrs.
Ott spent about three months abroad.
The life of Mr. Ott has been a busy one, such a one
as well earns the quiet contentment which he and his estimable wife are
now privileged to enjoy.

Says Snow Hid Train
2 Road Workers Die At Crossing
Troy Township road
crewmen William Spayde, 48, and
William L. Rudrick, Jr., 26, both of
Lexington, RD 1, were killed yesterday
when their snow plow truck was struck
by a Baltimore and Ohio freight train
at the Owens Rd crossing, a mile and a
half north of Lexington.
State highway
patrolmen theorized the heavy gusts of
wind-driven snow and the noise of the
truck combined to prevent the men from
seeing or hearing the approaching
diesel locomotive. The tragedy
occurred at 1:20 p.m. at the single
track, about 500 feet west of
Lexington-Springmill Rd.
DIFFICULT TO SEE
Patrolmen said the
wind was coming from the same
direction as the train at the time and
that it was "almost
impossible" to look into the
direction of the snow. The crossing is
marked only by wooden cross-bar
warning signs.
Mansfield Ambulance
Service rushed both victims to General
Hospital where Spayde, driver of the
truck, was pronounced dead on arrival
of a fractured skull, broken neck and
ruptured left lung. Rudrick died a few
minutes after arrival at the hospital
of a basal skull fracture and ruptured
left lung. Patrolmen said both men
were thrown from the cab of the truck
by the impact.
Investigation at
the scene showed the truck, fitted
with a snow plow attachment had been
plowing snow on Owens Rd. which runs
between Lexington-Springmill and
Lexington-Ontario Rds. just before
approaching the tracks. The snow plow
attachment was pulled up when the
truck drove directly into the path of
the train.
Struck on the right
side, the truck was shoved off the
tracks, and the cab separated from the
truck bed.
The double tragedy
marked the sixth and seventh highway
accident victims in Richland County to
date this year. Only one person had
been killed in the county at this time
last year.
4 CHILDREN
Rudrick, a graduate
of Lexington High School in 1954, is
survived by his wife, Sandra; son,
Geoffrey; daughters, Deborah,
Christine and LeVonne, all at home;
parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Rudrick
Sr., of Lexington, RD 1; sisters, Mrs.
Jack Bailey of Mansfield, Mrs. Stephen
Nertler of Lexington and Sherry of
Lexington.

for Rudrick will be held at 2:30 p.m.
Thursday from Snyder Funeral Home,
Lexington, with the Rev. Wray Smith of
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church,
Mansfield, officiating. Burial will be
in Lexington Cemetery. Friends may

Sixty-two years in the
hardware business will end for
the Kell family the first of
the year. Arthur Kell,
owner and operator of the
store, has announced that he
is selling the store to Lloyd
Curtner of Millsboro Rd.,
Mansfield. Kell took over
operation of the store 31
years ago upon the death of
his father, Thad. "I've
had the store long enough,
" Kell said. "I'll
take six months to decide what
I'm going to do next."
Known records of the store go
back to 1877 when it was owned
by a man named Walker. Before
that a man named Boggs had the
store. In 1891, Marshall Kell,
Arthur's uncle, bought a half
interest in the store which
was then known as Walker Kell
hardware. Thad Kell bought
Walker's share in 1900, and it
was the Kell Bros. Hardware.
Thad Kell died in 1930.

Lexington Woman Beaten and Robbed
WIDOW STRUCK BY ASSAILANT WHILE IN BED
Finger Broken by Blow as She Raises
Hand to Protect Self.
Sheriff E. P. Long
and deputies were searching for an
assailant who beat an elderly
Lexington woman while she lay in bed
early today and robbed her of her
purse.
Mrs. Rose Kell,
about 68, widow of M. A. Kell who for
many years operated a hardware store
in Lexington, was struck over the head
and one of her fingers broken shortly
after 1 a.m. as she lay in bed at her
home on Grange street. She lived
alone.
Bruised and
suffering from shock, Mrs. Kell told
Sheriff Long that she was awakened by
a severe blow on the side of her head,
and that as she cried out and raised
her hand to protect her head, the man
struck her.
He hit her with a
heavy instrument, the blow landing on
her fingers, one of which was broken.
It was believed by the sheriff that
protection afforded by her hand may
have saved her from a more serious
head injury.
The man then went
to a dresser drawer and took Mrs.
Kell's purse. He told Mrs. Kell to
remain in her bed for 15 minutes after
he left, the sheriff was told.
Mrs. Kell later
managed to get to the home of Charles
Lawrence, across the street, but she
was unable to arouse the family and
then went to the home of George Kreps,
whom she awakened. Kreps notified the
sheriff.
Sheriff Long said
that the robber removed a screen from
a cellar window, climbed in through
the window, threw the light switch off
and cut the telephone wires.
Mrs. Kell said
today that she believed there was bout
$10 in her purse.
Mrs. Kell remained
at the Kreps home today.
Sheriff's deputies
at noon today were still without clues
as to the identity of the assailant.
The sheriff expressed the opinion that
the intruder was familiar with Mrs.
Kells' home since he located the
woman's purse without having to
ransack the residence.
Mansfield News Journal (Mansfield,
Ohio) June 26, 1940
Deputy sheriffs and police today
questioned and fingerprinted two
transients brought here from Lexington
in their search for the man who beat
and robbed Mrs. Rose Kell, 68,
of Lexington, as she lay in her bed
early yesterday. Sheriff E. P. Long
said he and his deputies would
question every transient and
"floater" in Lexington,
since the officers have only meager
clues with which to work. He said they
had learned nothing of value from the
men questioned so far. Mrs. Kell,
widow of M. A. Kell, Lexington
hardware dealer, was beaten on the
head and hands by an attacker who
crept into the large house where she
slept alone. One of the blows
fractured a finger on her right hand.
She was not believed seriously hurt.
The assailant, who apparently thought
she had a large sum of money in the
house, took a purse containing about
$10. After cutting radio and telephone
wires, he entered through a cellar
window.

2 Road Workers Die At Crossing
Troy Township road crewmen
William Spayde, 48, and William L. Rudrick,

the neighborhood kids felt that Skippy
deserved something pretty swell in the way of
a funeral, so Donnie and Al agreed to ask
their father, Virgil Hess, for a granite
memorial. So now it is being carved in formal
fashion with the simple markings of
"Skippy, 1937-38" on it. Skippy was

MANSFIELD BOY FIRST TO PASS
Harry
Valentine Oberlin
Harry V. Oberlin, Born Here,
First to Be Examined in
Cleveland.
EXAM SHOWS HE IS A 100 PER
CENT MAN
"I'm Proud to Be Able to
Go," Oberlin's Comment;
Made No Exemption Claim.
Harry V.
Oberlin, who was born in
Mansfield 24 years ago, is the
first young man to have
successfully passed the
examination in Cleveland for
draft into the new national
army and has the distinction
of being a 100 per cent man,
having passed the examination
without a single black mark.
He did not make any claim of
exemption.
Harry
Oberlin is a son of Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Oberlin, now
living in Toledo but for many
years residents of Mansfield.
He is a nephew of Miss Rose
Oberlin of the Reed store.
At 5:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon he
was certified as physically
fit and his name inscribed at
the top of what will become a
list of Cleveland's quota to
the national army.
"Say,
when will we be called for
training?" Oberlin
demanded expectantly as he
climbed back into his clothing
in room 11 of the courthouse.
"I'm proud to be able to
go-especially with the
distinction of being the first
to be passed in
Cleveland."
Oberlin
presented himself yesterday
afternoon at an opportune time
when all members of the board,
including Dr. J. J. Thomas,
were present. So, under the
eye of a camera, registering a
history-making episode, he
went through the same sort of
an ordeal that close to 30,000
Cuyahoga county men will have
to undergo in order to furnish
the county's quota of
(unreadable figure) men
It required
approximately fifteen minutes
to complete the examination of
"Private" Oberlin.
Dr. Thomas, however, expects
to cut down the time when the
real work begins today. He
went through the various steps
of the test exactly as every
other candidate will be
required to do.
Entering
the room he was sent by
Charles Wesley, reception
clerk, who handed him a bag,
showing him to be No. 1 in the
examination list, and attached
to his coat lapel a laundry
check bearing the
corresponding number. This
system will be used to avoid
confusion in call and in
clothing when large numbers of
men are awaiting examination.
From the
reception clerk, Oberlin
passed to Clerk T. J. Jackman,
who thumbed the files for his
registration card and compared
its notations as to the color
of eyes and hair with the
applicants appearance, a
procedure that will be
followed to prevent hired
substitutes from impersonating
a drafted man.
Jackman
checked Oberlin's notification
with his card, showing him to
be 24 years old, living at
9716 Lamont avenue, serial No.
2787, twentyseventh in order
of call, a salesman employed
by the W. Bingham company,
unmarried, without dependents
and making no claim for
exemption.
Thence
Oberlin passed to a table
where A. W. Keagy and John E.
Murray, members of local board
No. 15, were seated. Under
their direction, he answered
questions as to his health and
habits. The answers to be
noted on the first page of the
physical examination blank,
which Oberlin signed.
He passed
them into the hands of Dr. J.
J. Thomas, physician member of
the board, who conducted the
actual examination while
Walter F. Flory,
chairman of the board, filled
out the second page of the
blank. Partly stripped,
Oberlin stepped on the scales,
which showed his weight to be
148 pounds and his height six
feet two inches.
He was
measured and thumped and put
through a hop, step and jump
before the stethoscope was
used to determine his heart
action. A scar from an
appendicitis operation was
noted, and his heart and other
organs were found to be
normal. His chest expansion
was shown to be thirty-five
inches at expiration and
thirty-five inches at
inspiration.
Eye, ear
and teeth tests showed him
normal in these respects.
Whereupon Dr. Thomas signed
the black certifying Oberlin
to be physically fit for
military service.
After that
Oberlin passed on to C. H. A.
Palmer, chief clerk of the
board, who checked the
physician's report in every
detail, filled in the place
and date and signed a form on
the third page of the blank
declaring that the local board
finds the person named on the
first page here of physically
qualified for military
service. That ended Oberlin's
ordeal, and he went away to
wait an order from the war
department instructing him to
report for duty. (submitted by
