Mrs. Cecil Lockwood Sr. Dies From Shock After Crash; Husband Injured
Mrs. Cecil (Mary) Lockwood, Sr., 64, of 526 South Morgan St. died at10:30 p.m. Wednesday at DeKalb County Hospital, where she and her husband were taken following a smashing head-on collision with a pickup truck on U.S. 6, 1 1/2 miles west of Waterloo in DeKalb County at 5:40 p.m.
Death was attributed to "irreversible shock" as a result of the accident. Her death will be listed as a traffic fatality.
Although Mrs. Lockwood suffered a severely fractured left leg and multiple bruises and lacerations to the face and chest in the crack-up, her injuries were not considered to be of a critical or fatal nature.
A son, Cecil Lockwood Jr., had been summoned from Bluffton and plans already were underway for transferring both of the senior Lockwoods back to Clinic Hospital, when Mrs. Lockwood died.
Mr. Lockwood Sr., 67, Bluffton insurance executive, and civic leader for many years, suffered multiple bruises and lacerations particularly to the head and face.
His condition today was listed as satisfactory and he was returned by ambulance this morning from Dekalb County Hospital at Auburn to Clinic Hospital, room 262.
The accident occurred when Gilbert R. Taylor, 55, Hamilton Route 2,driving a 1965 Chevrolet pickup truck east on U.S. 6, pulled out from behind a semi-truck and began to turn left onto a county road.
As Taylor moved into the left lane, he collided head-on with the Lockwood car, driven by Mr. Lockwood, who was headed west. Both vehicles were demolished.
Taylor was taken to Lutheran Hospital with a fractured left wrist, a broken nose, and a fractured left knee plus lacerations and bruises.His condition also was considered satisfactory.
State Police cited Taylor on a charge of driving left of the center line. Investigating the accident were Troopers Don Smith, Herbert Austin and Michael Colgate, all of the Ligonier Post.
An autopsy was performed on Mrs. Lockwood following her unexpected death at DeKalb Hospital.
The Lockwoods had been inspecting storm damage from the recent tornadoes at their cottage on Pleasant Lake near Lake George and were returning to Bluffton when the accident occurred. They were enroute to the new I-69 interstate highway at the time of the crash.
Although the Lockwood's 1962 Cadillac was equipped with seat belts, it appeared that they were not in use, according to police. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood were thrown forward violently by the impact but remained in the car.
After the collision and notification of relatives here concerning the accident, there was considerable confusion in Bluffton concerning the status of the Lockwoods. Clinic Hospital personnel awaited their arrival for about three hours before phoning State Police and learning of Mrs. Lockwood's death, the cause of which was not then definite.
Surviving in addition to the son, Cecil Jr., are the mother, who resides at Hartford City; another son, Roger J. of Ossian, associated with his father and brother in the insurance business; a brother, Harry Stahl of Bluffton; a sister, Mrs. Clarence E. (Catherine) Schorey of Hartford City, and six grandchildren.
Born Oct. 15, 1900 in Wells County, she was the daughter of Fred and Minnie Weaver Stahl. Her marriage to Mr. Lockwood took place in 1919 in Wells County. She was a lifelong resident of Wells County.
Friends may call at Thoma Funeral Home after 7 p.m. today.
The body will be taken to the Methodist Church at noon Saturday for services at 1:30 p.m. Rev. Albert Habgood will officiate and burial will be in Elm Grove Cemetery.
