OBITUARY
The Rochester News-Sentinel, Monday, August 25, 1941
Howard SHOEMAKER, 26 years of age, died at the Woodlawn hospital here at 7:12 o'clock this morning from injuries received about four a.m. today when he fell asleep while driving a bread truck for the Burns Bakery of North Manchester, formerly of Mentone. The truck careened off State Road 19 three miles south of Mentone, when Shoemaker fell asleep, and crashed into a tree. Shoemaker was pinned beneath the wreckage for nearly an hour before he was discovered by a group of people from Goshen, en route to Tennessee, who stopped and extricated him from the wreckage and brought him to the office of a Mentone physician. Soon after, he was removed to the Woodlawn hospital when his condition was found to be of a serious nature. It was reported that Shoemaker regained consciousness a short time before his death and stated that he had fell asleep at the wheel, causing the crash.
The deceased was a former resident of Tippecanoe, moving to Mentone two years ago. He is survived by the wife, the former Ollie CLARK, Akron; three children, a brother, and the parents.
No funeral arrangements have been made to date.
