August 22, 1926 - "Chauncey Woman Dies After Being Struck by a Train. Mrs. Clara Oberholzer Thrown Twenty Feet By New York Central Engine. BROUGHT TO ATHENS. By CHARLES BRADFORD.
CHAUNCEY, Aug. 21, -- Thrown twenty feet into the air when she was hit by the 5:25 New York Central passenger train number three Saturday afternoon while walking on the track near her home. Mrs Clara Oberhilzer, 79 was totally fatally injured. She died at $?? o'clock Saturday night at Sheltering Arms Hospital, where she was taken following the accident. Attending doctors ascribe the death to shock and internal injurie
Mrs. Oberholzer's deafness was probably the cause of the accident. She was walking unconcerned along the track and seemingly did not hear the approaching train. The passenger engine hit her on the shoulder, picked her up and threw her in the air for possibly 20 feet, witnesses say. She fell on her head and shoulders and was unconscious when picked up. She was immediately placed on the train and brought to Athens where an ambulance awaited her. She was in shock when brought into the hospital and her condition was too weak to allow an examination. She was treated for shock but died before physicians could learn the full extent of the injuries.
Mrs. Oberholzer is a sister to Dr. A.D. Learned, Millfield. She has been a widow for three years. Her husband, William Oberholzer committed suicide three years ago by hanging himself in the stairway of his home, after a period of ill health. No children were born to the couple.
