Accidental Death
Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, February 27, 1929
Frank Burkhart, aged 32, former popular Woodsfield boy, now in Bellaire, was drowned near Barton Tuesday when he was struck by a Wheeling Traction Company car and was knocked into the raging waters of Wheeling Creek. It is believed that he was rendered unconscious when struck, hence was unable to save himself from drowning. The body had not been recovered late Tuesday.
Burkhart was employed by the Ohio Power Company. He was quite prominent in athletic circles and umpired many baseball games in the Valley. He removed with his parents from Woodsfield several years ago. His widow and parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Burkhart and several brothers and sisters survive. Ed. K. Burkhart of Woodsfield is a brother.
