Killed In Crash With
Gravel Truck
Richard M. Balderston Meets
Instant Death In Collision

Instant OeaCn IN NOLl1SlOn
Richard M. Balderston, respect
ed resident and business man of this
town, met instant death on Monday,
when the truck in which he was
driving from his cottage at Carpen-
ter's Point to- his place of business
in Rising Sun, was crashed into by a
heavily laden gravel truck. The ac-
cident occurred between five and six
o'clock in the morning, on the road
between Blythedale and Battle
Swamp.
The truck loaded with gravel, that
crashed into Mr.. Balderston's truck,
was driven by Edgar Hopkins, of
Port Deposit, and was evidently
travelling at high rate of speed.
Wheel tracks at the scene of the
accident would indicate that Mr..
Balderston had pulled to the side of
the road to avoid gravel truck,
driven by William Burlin, when a
second truck following close behind
Burlin, and driven by Hopkins,
crashed into the Balderston machine,
MASKING in the top and left side of
the cab, and crushing Mr.. Balders-
ton, killing him instantly.
The deceased conducted radio
and electrical business in Rising
Sun, but had been residing at Car
penter's Point for some months.
Richard M. Balderston was a son
of Sara A. and the late Elwood
Balderston, of Colora, and was 35
years of age. He Is survived by his
wife, Rachel M. Balderston, daugh-
ter of Rev. T. P. Mckee, and one
daughter, Nancy, aged eight years;
also his mother Sarah A. Balderston,
and two brothers, Mark Balderston,
professor of physics at Lafayette
College, Easton, Pa, and Lloyd Bal
derston III, of Colora.
Funeral services were held at the
home of his brother Lloyd Balders-
ton, Colora, ON Fifthday, Sixth
Month, the 25th, at 2:3O p. M, and
interment made in Friends burial
ground, Colora.
Coroner LETTERS, of Elkton, sum-
moned the following jury of inquest:
j. T. Cameron, foreman; H. w.
Ewing, Lewis T. Garvin, Vernon B.
Garvin, Curtis S. Reynolds, Theodore
H. Brown, Stanley McVey, c. E.
Marker, N. ]. Reynolds, Walter M.
Cameron, John E. Mackey, ]. E.
Tyson.
At the inquest Monday evening,
held at the residence of ]. E. Tyson,
Harold E. Cobourn, Esq, represented
Hopkins, and declined to have him
testify. William Burlin, driver of
one of the gravel trucks, testified to
having passed the truck being driven
by Edgar Hopkins, and also to
passing the Balderston truck, and
was several hundred yards distant
when the truck following him crash
ed with the other machine.
AS there were no eye witnesses to
the accident very little testimony was
heard, and the jury rendered an open
verdict to the effect that Balderston
came to his death as the result of
collision with truck driven by
Hopkins.
Mr.. Balderston was a member of
the recently organized Rising Sun
Burial Association, and his is the
second death to occur in the organi-
cation.
