County Engineer Edwin Stareher
Fatally Injured Friday Morning

One of the most shocking &C
cidents which has ever. happen
ia the history of the county oc-
Cured Friday morning when the
huge four ton truck belonging
to the county court upset and
turned over on County Engineer
Edwin Starcher, killing him al
most instantly.
Mr.. Starcher had started out
from Grantsville with the truck.
which Is a large army, four
wheel drive furnished by the
War Department for use in road
building, loaded with cuIvert
material for the Leatherbark
road and had gotten to the mar
rows on the high bank just this
side of The Barr school house at
the head of Phillips Run when
he met a team and wagon driv-
Ell by Oliver Blosser, Of Russell.
in attempting to pass the wagon
Mr.. Starcher drove to the lower
side of the road which runs along
a precipitous bank, and in some
manner the truck got beyond
his control, upset and rolled to
the bottom of the run below. At
the first turn Mr.. Starcher, who
stuck to the truck and tried to
save it from destruction, was
caught under the frame and
killed instantly. His Lody was
The Calhoun chronicle. [volume] (Grantsville, W. Va.) 1883-1984, 1919-10-02

terribly mangled and crushed as
the truck and its load weighed
nearly nine thousand pounds.
The remains were brought to
this place and prepared for bur
ial and the funeral services were
held and interment made at the
family cemetery on the West
Fork, Saturday afternoon.
Mr. Starcher was about So
years of age and was scion of
one Of the county's most promi-
nent families. He is survived
by his wife and nine children to
whom the sympathy of the en-
tire county goes out in the most
heartfelt manner.
Edwin Starcher was a first
class citizen and official. The q
were some who, in the hes of
political arguments and bicker-
lngs, criticised his plans and
purposes, but none deny that he
was honest, energetic and faith
full in the discharge of his duties.
Under his administration wond-
erful progress has been made in
road building in this county and
the county will experience some
difficulty in finding man to
take his place who will give the
same earnest and conscientious
service as was rendered by Mr..
Starcher.
