(Friday's Daily) SOURCE: http://www.fulco.lib.in.us/Genealogy/Tombaugh/Obit%20Bios/Html/FulCo%20Obits_Biogs%201886-1890.htm Published in the Rochester(IN) News-Sentinel, Wednesday, December 3, 1924 Dan RANS, about 70 years old, farmer living on the west edge of Grass Creek, was killed almost instantly, and Omer PRATT, 28, grandson of Mrs. Elizabeth CLAYBORN who lives west of Rochester, was injured so seriously that he is not expected to live, Wendesday when a truck in which the two were going to Rans' home for some poultry was struck by the southbound Vandalia passenger train due at Kewanna at 10 a.m. on a crossing near the Rans' home. Meager reports of the tragedy came to this city late this afternoon from Fulton by way of Grass Creek and Fletchers Lake. Whether the truck stalled on the tracks or whether the accident resulted from some other cause was not given in the message, but it is said that the crossing was not a "bad" one with no obstructed view. This makes the accident unaccountable, by present information. At the time of the crash, Pratt was driving the truck, it was stated. Published in the Rochester(IN) News-Sentinel, Saturday, December 6, 1924 Funeral services for the late Daniel F. RANS, retired farmer and business man of Grass Creek, who was killed Wednesday when a truck in which he was riding with Ralph PRATT ran into a Pennsylvania switch engine, will be held at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the Grass Creek Seventh Day Adventist church. The services will be conducted by the Rev. C. F. WEIST of Indianapolis. Burial was made in the Grass Creek cemetery. Mr. Rans' son and daughter from the northwest returned for the funeral. Mr. Rans, a prominent farmer, formerly of Fulton county, established the first elevator at Grass Creek and just prior to the death conducted a hardware store in that village. Ralph Pratt, who was driving the truck which ran into the train, is slowly recovering from his injuries.
