Moan Backs Car Into Death Maw, Plunges Car Over 100 Feet In Car and Death Follows From Injuries, Regained Consciousness, Barbered in Oceana County for Over 40 Years. Leaves Insurance to Sister.
An accident which caused the death of Henry Moan happened about three o'clock Sunday morning when Henry backed his roadster off the river bank of Hart Lumber Company's Yards.
An Indian party had been in progress at the Joe Mitchell house which broke up about 2:30 a.m. Henry had been calling "first fo' right and left" and after the dance got into his car and started home. He backed up to turn around and went too far, going over the precipice. The car rolled over and over until he hit a stump near the bottom which badly wrecked it and likely caused Moan's fatal injuries.
Moan was found beside his car in a dazed but not unconscience condition and when asked by the attending physician where he wanted to be taken, replied "To the cemetery, thats where I'm headed for." He was taken to the Oceana Hospital where every care possible was given him but death came about nine o'clock Sunday evening. His last request was for the good care of his dog "Dutch."
Moan has been a well known character in Oceana for over forty years where he was born.
