CORN OBSTRUCTED VIEW.

Harrell Coers, son of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Coers, of this city, suffered a deep cut on the head and was cut on the hand by flying pieces of glass. A young woman named Grimes of Seymour, who was an occupant of the car in the accident was cut and bruised about the body. She was caught beneath one of the machines and a telephone pole. She was taken to the hospital at Seymour for treatment. Other occupants of the two cars suffered only slight injuries.
Earl Kelly and Harrell Coers, both of this city, were driving toward the camp in a machine owned by Kelly. A car driven by Adrian George, of Columbus, and in which three other persons were riding, was struck by the Kelly machine at an intersection. It was stated that tall corn in a field obstructed the view of motorists. Both machines were traveling at a good rate of speed at the time, it was said.
The machine driven by George, who a few years ago was a member of the Columbus high school basketball team, was badly damaged. Kelly's car was also damaged to some extent.
Coers was brought o his home here by Nathan Kaufman, who was near at the time of the accident.

COUPLE APPROACHING THEIR
SIXTIETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
----------
Mr. and Mrs. Coers are descendants of that pioneer stock that established the solid foundation upon which Shelby county was established. Henry and Fannie Coers, parents of Mr. Coers, were true pioneer residents and their lives were connected with the very earliest events in the community. Mr. Coers was born September 25, 1835, in what is now Union townshp and until his marriage, resided in that section.
Altho past eighty-three years old, Mr. Coers is quite active and his delightful tales of the early days of the county are always appreciated and never tedious. He had been a strict adherent to the policies of the democratic party since he entered man's estate and altho he has given freely of his time and finances toward the success of the party, he has never asked reward being content to remain an active layman and not an office-seeker.
Mr. and Mrs. Coers reside in Rush county, four miles from the Shelby county line. Mrs. Coers has lived on this farm for seventy-two years. She was born in Clearmont county Ohio, and came to this section with her parents when she was only six years old. She has been assiduously with her husband in his career as a farmer and their married life has been happy, even in trials, for they have had the comfort of each other's companionship. Their marriage took place Nove. 6, 1863. Mr. Coers has remarkable health for his age but Mrs. Coers has been failing for several months. They are the parents of five sons and one daughter, Henry Coers, of Liberty township, Jacob Coers, Daniel Coers, William Coers, and J. C. Coers, of Rush county, and Mrs. Charles Gahimer of Liberty township.
