NOTED DUTCH METAL EXPERT CRASH VICTIM
Dr Jacob Snoek Killed at Elkhart In Auto Accident
(By The Associated Press)
A well-known Dutch expert on metals was one of the 12 persons killed in Indiana's weekend traffic accidents.
Dr Jacob L Snoek, 46, of Shaker Heights, O., died in Elkhart General hospital last evening two hours after his car hit an icy spot on U.S. 6 about 2½ miles west of Nappanee. Dr Snoek and John McGrath, 23, of Cleveland, both employees of Horizons, Inc., were on their way from Cleveland to the Horizons research plant in Valparaiso.
McGrath was not injured seriously and may be dismissed from the hospital today. The top of the car was sheared off by a steel railroad rail which was used as a fencepost.
Dr Snoek's body was taken to Melbourn and Sons funeral home in Cleveland. Burial will be in Lakeview cemetery. He was born in Utrecht Holland.
In U.S. Since April
Dr Snoek came to this country last April to become head physicist for Horizons, which does research work in metallurgy, physics, ceramics and chemistry. He studied at the University of Utrecht in Europe and had written many scientific articles on solid state physics and ferromagnetism. He is survived by a widow and a son.
