LOCAL MEN KILLED IN EASTERN WRECK. Three Shouns men were dead and a fourth was reported in a most critical condition on Monday, March 17, after an automobile accident near Elkton, MD.

The dead are Elmer Eldreth, 29; Wade Willen, 17, and his brother, Roy Willen, 22.

Hobart Spencer Payne, 18, was reported in critical condition at Elkton, MD, as a result of injuries sustained in the crash, in which no other car or passengers were involved. It was not immediately known just what caused the crash. It is supposed that the men were among those from Johnson County who are in that section for work in the mushroom growing business.
