Local Truck Driver Found Dead in His Cab
Ernest Fenner, 39, truck driver living near Hamilton, was found dead in the cab of his truck near Chesterton, Ind., on Sunday afternoon. A coroner’s inquest, held there gave carbon monoxide poisoning as the cause of death. Mr. Fenner, who drove a truck between Toledo and Chicago for Carl Delucenay, also of Angola, had received injuries in an accident near Pittsburgh, Pa., about ten days ago, and it was at first thought these injuries had contributed to his death.
The family moved here about six years ago and had been living on the Irvin Kurtz farm near Hamilton in recent months. The survivors include the wife, four daughters, and two sons, in addition to several brothers and sisters. Funeral services were conducted by Dr. John Humfreys at 1 o’clock on Thursday afternoon at the Weicht Funeral Home and burial was in the Pleasant Lake cemetery.
