1970 - Five Teenagers Killed in Car-Train Accident
On Saturday evening, November 7, five teenagers were pronounced dead at the scene of an incredibly tragic accident after the car in which they were riding drove into the path of a westbound train at the Greely Street railroad crossing on Tiffin's east side at about 10:15 pm. The car was pushed over 3000 feet down the tracks until the train was finally able to come to a stop near State Routes 18 & 101. This was described as the worst single auto accident in Seneca County history. The accident affected the entire community, and especially students at Calvert & Columbian High Schools. The victims were Roger A Faber(1954-1970), Eugene E Umlor Jr(1954-1970), Daniel Klepper(1956-1970), Thomas Cummings(1955-1970) and Valerie J Long(1957-1970), all between the ages of 16 and 13.
