ACCIDENT FATAL TO ABRAM WEIGLE
Dies At Warner Hospital As Result of Fractured Skull. Aged 74 Years.
FOUGHT IN CIVIL WAR
Was Said to Have Been Blinded By Lights on Automobile Driven by W. H. Mort. of Altoona.
Abram Weigle, of Heidlersburg, died at the Warner Hospital, Tuesday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, as a result of a fractured skull sustained when he was struck by an automobile in the square at Heidlersburg, last Friday evening at 8 o'clock.
He was aged 74 years, 5 months and 6 days.
Mr. Weigle was admitted to the hospital last Friday evening at 9 o'clock after being run down by the car driven by W. H. Mort, 527 East Comfort Street, Altoona. He was injured about the head and face, but the report of the first examination showed no bones had been broken. He was conscious but suffered considerable pain in his head.
By a later examination, it was found that Mr. Weigle also sustained a fractured skull as a result of being knocked to the concrete road with great force.
His condition rapidly became worse, and Tuesday at noon he was said by those in charge at the hospital to be sinking. Death followed later in the afternoon.
WAS ON ERRAND
The accident of which Mr. Weigle was the victim occurred on the square at Heidlersburg as the aged man was crossing the Harrisburg Road. He had gone to a store to have some money changed and being unsuccessful at one store started across the square to another.
Coming toward Gettysburg at the time was the automobile driven, by Mr. Mort. The lights of his car, it is said, partially blinded Mr. Weigle as he was crossing the street. The aged man is said to have stepped back, evidently dazed, directly in the path of the machine. Mr. Mort made every effort to avoid an accident but was unsuccessful and a fender of his machine struck Mr. Weigle.
Mr. Mort stopped his car and picking Mr. Weigle up, hurried him to the Warner Hospital here.
FOUGHT IN CIVIL WAR.
Mr. Weigle, who was a veteran of the Civil War, lived alone in Heidlersburg. He retired from farming, from which he was engaged, many years ago.
Surviving are three brothers and one sister: William and Isaac Weigle, Heidlersburg:, and Jeremiah Weigle and Mrs. D. K. Walker, of Hunterstown.
Funeral service at his late home in Heidlersburg, Friday afternoon at 12:30 o'clock conducted by the Rev. W. I. Kauffman and, the Rev. J. Berkholder. Burial in the Sunnyside Cemetery at York Springs.
