OBITUARY - Article about the accident that claimed the life of Lloyd Shaw, and injured his son James: Lloyd A. Shaw and James H. Shaw, both of McKee, Injured when Automobile Is struck by Pennsy Test Train at Duncansville Crossing Just Above the Y. Elder man succumbs at Hospital in this city. They Fail to See train drawn by Big Cascade Engine which is making a series of Test Trips - Father has chest crushed and son a crush of skull. Two men, father and son, were injured, the father fatally, at 10:10 o'clock this morning when the automovile coupe in which they were riding was struck by a train on the New Portage line of the Pennsylvania railroad at 7th Street grade crossing in Duncansville, just west of New Portage Junction. The dead: Lloyd A. Shaw, of McKee, chest crushed on right side, left hip and several ribs fractured. He died at the Altoona hospital at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The Injured: James H. Shaw, aged 40, son of Lloyd Shaw, crushed skill and abrasions all over the limbs and body. Both men were brought to the Altoona hospital after the accident and it was found that both were in very critical condition. The son is lying in an unconscious condition, while the father regained consciousness before he expired. Other son lives nearby. Another son of Lloyd Shaw lives just a short distance from where the accident occurred. He was at home when the crash occurred. he heard it and went out to investigate, being horrified to find that it was his father and brother who were the victims. They left their home at 5:30 o'clock this morning and drove to Duncansville with the purpose of buying a tire for their automobile, a coupe. The train which hit them is an extra that is being operated by the Pittsburgh division authorities over the New Portage line for the purpose of testing one of the new Cascade engines for the passenger service, an account of which was published in the Altoona Mirror last week. Men Fail to See Train. The elder Shaw was driving the coupe and it is quite evident that neither he nor his son saw the train running towards them until they were on the track, too late for them to get out of the way. The coupe was completely demolished by the impact and the men were hurled to the side of the track. They were picked up by the train crew and by John Shaw and others who were attracted by the accident. Medical aid was summoned and as soon as possible they were placed aboard a train and brought to Altoona, being conveyed to the hospital from the station by the ambulance. It was stated at the railroad company offices that the crossing where the accident occurred is protected by the signals that are regularly employed in the company at all grade crossings along the lines and company officials are at a loss to know why these did not attract the attention of the unfortunate men, even though they did not see the train as it ran towards them. The Shaws formerly resided in the vicinity of Puzzletown, but they have lived at McKee for about 20 yers and were usually employed in the ganister quarries in that vicinity. It was stated today that neither had been employed lately. Mr. Shaw was a member of the United Brethren church in East Freedom, where he was a constant attendant at the services and took an active part in the work of the church and Sunday School. .
