FORMER AREA MAN KILLED
R. I. FRALEY, One-Time Thurmont Resident, Crash Victim
A former Thurmont man was killed instantly when hit by a car on Pennsylvania Route 16 in Washington Township, Franklin County, Sunday morning at 1:15 a.m., Pennsylvania State Police reported last night.
Ray I. Fraley, 34, of 30 East North street, Waynesboro, Pa., was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident by Franklin County Coroner J. D. Goshen.
DETAILS UNCERTAIN
Pennsylvania State Police Chambersburg Barracks reported that Fraley apparently appeared suddenly in the middle of the road, waving his hands and attempting to get a ride on the Sunshine Trail between Waynesboro and Blue Ridge Summit early Sunday morning.
A 1954 Chrysler sedan, driven east on Pennsylvania Route 16 by Harold Ray Hull, a 27-year-old television salesman of Blue Ridge Summit, swerved and hit four guardrails in an attempt to avoid hitting the man but could not, police explained.
The car, which skidded on the shoulder of the road for 288 feet before hitting the guard rails had $215 in damages in the accident and destroyed $60 worth of railing, police reported. No one was injured in the automobile.
A coroner's inquest into the traffic death is awaited before any charges are considered by the Pennsylvania State Police.
Fraley, after moving from Thurmont, was a carpenter in the Waynesboro area. He moved to Waynesboro from Thurmont 12 years-ago. He worked on the Fisher farm in Thurmont while in the local area.
The accident victim is survived by a father, two sisters and a brother, all living in Thurmont, and by a brother in Hagerstown.
Surviving are Baker Fraley, father of the deceased, two sisters, Mrs. Lee Fisher and Mrs. Chester Brice, and a brother, Harold Fraley, all of Thurmont and another brother, Carroll Fraley of Hagerstown.
Funeral services will be held at the Grove funeral home in Waynesboro on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The body will be moved to Thurmont for burial in the Blue Ridge cemetery there after the services.
The Grove funeral home said last night that Fraley was born in SabillasvilIe and spent most of his youth there and in Thurmont before coming to Waynesboro 12 years ago.
He was the son of Lucy Ann Spielman Fraley and is survived by his wife, Bertha Morrow Fraley and a step-daughter, Rose Marie Wade, both of Highfield, in addition to his relatives in Thurmont and Hagerstown.
Fraley had gone to Highfield to give a wagon he made as a birthday present to his step-grandchild on Saturday night and was returning home by hitch-hiking when he was struck by the car, the funeral director said.
Fraley was a veteran of World War II, in which he served as a private in the U.S Army, and was a member of the Fraternal Order of Owls in Waynesboro.
He worked in Baltimore as a carpenter for the Robert Crell contracting firm and commuted daily from Waynesboro where he resided, the funeral director said.
Friends may call at the funeral home this evening from 7 to 9 p.m.
