CRASH IS FATAL TO GLADWIN BOY
JAY JUSTIN DIES FOLLOWING AUTON ACCIDENT NEAR FLINT
George Herbert Justin, known as Jay, died in Hurley hospital, Flint, Sunday morning at 3:30 from injuries received in a crash on South Dixie highway, 18 miles out of Flint, Saturday afternoon in which his brother, Don, was injured, and three other men killed.
He was riding with his brother, Donald Justin 29, who was driving a truck owned by the F. Cady Cartage Co. In the passenger car with which they collided were Herbert and Cecil Biersdorfer and Bernard P. Stein all of Drayton Plains, who were coming home with a load of smelt. They were identified by papers found in their clothing.
The passenger car is said to have been traveling at a terrific rate of speed when it swerved across the center of the highway, crashing into the truck which Don Justin was attempting to turn out of its way into a driveway. One man was dead when he was taken from the wreckage and the other two died shortly afterwards.
Jay's body was brought to Glawin Sunday by relatives who went to Flint when notified of the accident. Services were held at the home of his mother, Mrs. Josie Justin this afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Grant L. Jordan. Burial was at Highland cemetery.
Surviving him are his mother, Mrs. Josie Justin, two sisters, Mrs. Hazel Adelblue, of Midland, and Mrs. Betty Fiser, of Gladwin; three brothers, Donald and Delmer of Flint and Arthur at home. Gladwin County Record dated 4-8/1936 Column – 6 Page – 1.
