O. G. Crannell Stricken With Heart Attack While Driving Car
Warren, Sep 26 - Orlo Gilbert Crannell, 59, of Lynn, died at the wheel of his automobile about two miles east of the village on the main Boston road about 5 yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Crannell, who is the traveling engineer for the Cudahy Packing company for New England, was traveling with his wife. They left New Haven, Ct, after eating dinner and were on their way home. After going down Patrick's hill when passing Beaudry's filling station, Mrs. Crannell was startled as the car ran off the road and when it came to a stop without any damage to the car, she found her husband was lifeless on the seat beside her.
Dr. Charles A. DeLand, medical examiner, was called and gave his opinion that death was from heart disease, probably without any warning. The body was taken to Johnson's undertaking rooms.
Mr. Crannell had been in poor health for some time, but his condition had not been considered critical. It was considered almost miraculous that his wife was not injured or the car damaged, as the highway is crowded with cars at this time of the year.
