adopted son: Howard Slagle
From the 4/23/1918 Van Wert, Ohio, Twice-A-Week Bulletin, edited: "William Slagle, a well known farmer, who lived on the old Danner place, on the Jennings road Southeast of town, his wife, Josephine Knapp-Slagle, and their adopted son, Gordon Slagle, aged about twelve years, were instantly killed Thursday, at the Pennsylvania railroad crossing, on the Brown road one mile West of town. ..The accident was, doubtless, the result of a series of conditions. The Pollock crossing is one of the most dangerous in the county, a fact repeatedly pointed out and remedies recommend that might easily be applied, at little cost...Mr. Slagle was born near Sidney, but spent the major portion of his life in this county. Mrs. Slagle was born in York township and lived in this county throughout her lifetime. The family formerly resided on the Terry farm, on the West Ridge road, and on the Cramer farm, on the Greenville road. Slagle was a pupil of the Fourth Ward Public School. The surviving relatives include the daughter, Mrs. J. W. Leitner, of Union township, three brothers and a sister of Mr. Slagle: Henry and Thomas Slagle, of Piqua, David Slagle and Mrs. Philip Handwerk, of Liberty township. Mrs. Slagle is survived by one brother, Wallace Knapp, of South Fulton street."
