Leo H. Kohl, general secretary of the Asbury Park and Ocean Grove YMCA for more than year, was killed instantly last night when the car he was driving was struck by a southbound train at the Sunset avenue crossing. Mr. Kohl came to Asbury Park in April, 1945, succeeding Robert L. Sisson in the post of general secretary of the YMCA. He had held similar positions at Philadelphia and Mexico City, and had been active in YMCA work all his life. He was born in Marshfield, Wis., served in World War I and attended the University of Wisconsin. He was president of the university YMCA and later attended the YMCA college in Chicago.
He began his association work in Cleveland and then became executive secretary of the Mexico City YMCA. Later he was a member of the Pennsylvania state YMCA in a supervisory capacity and was general secretary of the McKeesport, Pa., association before going to North Branch in Philadelphia. He is survived by his wife, two daughters and a son, Richard.
