LOCKPORT - A barely
scarred tree, inches from an
untouched telephone pole, and
a badly mangled car gave
mute testimony today to an
accident early Sunday which
took the lives of three men.
Pronounced dead on arrival
at Lockport Memorial
Hospital were:
Raymond D. Simmons Jr.,
23, of 4175 Day Road, Town

Traveled at High Speed
Patrolmen William Parker
and Charles Sobieraski said
the crash occurred about 1:10

the car had evidently been
traveling west in Stevens
Street at a high rate of speed
and was unable to stop for
the stop sign at the point the

Street. They said the car apparently
crossed Ohio Street
and smashed into the tree,
knocking a "no parking" sign
off its metal post.
Police said Sterling had
been riding in the back seat
of the car with Meyers sitting
in the front beside the driver.
They said Simmons and
Meyers had been thrown
agak*t the dashboard and
windshield and that Storting
had been thrown against the
back of the front s e a t.
Although the late model sedan
was equipped with seat belts,
police said they were not in
use alUiough no one was
ejected from the car.
An apparent witness to the
crash was a night watchman
of the Upson Co. in Stevens
Street, Roger Baker of 1566
Van Buren St., Olcott.
As crowds gathered around
the death car parked in a
service station yard later
Sunday, the entire front of
It was concave, having been
wrapped almost completely
around the tree. The door on
the passenger side, obviously
sprung, hung c o m p l e t e ly
open.

Notes:

David Mahar, 83, a lifetime resident of Gasport and Wilson, NY, devoted husband, father, grandfather and brother, passed away on January 2, 2020 surrounded by loving family. Born February 20, 1936 in Gasport, NY, he was the son of the late Emmett and Sylvia (Haseley) Mahar.
Dave attended DeSales Catholic School and Cornell University, where he enrolled in the ROTC program and trained to become an officer. During his training, he attended the 82nd Airborne School in North Carolina. His training with the 82nd Airborne was one of the proudest times in his life. After his discharge, he enlisted in the Army Reserves, and served at Camp Drum for many summers.
In 1967, he married Mary Ann O'Connor, mother of his four children, who predeceased him in 1979. After her passing, Dave worked tirelessly to support his children and help them develop strong work ethics and a capable approach to life. In 1992, Dave married Joan (Van Arsdale) Hartz. Together, Dave and Joan travelled consistently and spent many wonderful years together as snowbirds, enjoying time in Florida during the winter months.
Dave grew up on Mahar's Ponderosa with his family and together, they built their family farm into a successful business. In 1963, Dave went to work for Lakeside Farms in Ransomville as Manager for the large dairy, vegetable and fruit farm. He learned the business ropes there and in 1969, moved on to Frontier Stone, eventually buying the business with Bob Pass and Chuck Loiacano in 1983. Surrounded by excellent people, they ran the business successfully until selling to Redland in 1997.
Dave loved to host family parties, including everything from chicken barbeques to Father's Day feasts and August corn parties. His hobbies included hunting, photography, golf and gardening. A World War II enthusiast, Dave read countless books on the subject. A member of St. Brendan on the Lake parish, Dave was a devoted Catholic who lived a humble life and gave generously to others.

Notes:

Larry Mahar, 78, of the Town of Hartland passed away at his home on April 8, 2021.  Born in Medina, NY on November 28, 1942, he was the youngest son of the late Emmett and Sylvia 
(Haseley) Mahar. 
A lifelong resident of Chapman Road, Larry was the youngest of 6 children and grew up helping his parents on the family dairy farm. He and his brothers raised dry beans, corn and well as hay.  They also ran a successful saw mill for many years, as well as raised Hereford cattle.  Larry felt his calling in life was always to be a farmer, carrying on his family tradition and legacy.  His dream was to have a barn full of International tractors, which through hard work, he was able to achieve. 
In 1998, Larry along with his wife started a successful family run business, Mahar Excavating Inc.  He took great pride in working every day with his son Joe serving the community.  Everyone knew when the big yellow pumper truck drove by, Larry was most likely behind the wheel.  He never missed a day of work- whether it was running the bulldozer, leveling with his grader or loading stone with his prized John Deere payloader into his beloved Mack Granite dump truck,  which he was fortunate enough to do right up until last week.  Larry’s business was not only his livelihood but also his passion and drive. He was still like a little kid on Christmas morning every time when a new piece of equipment came in the driveway.  His hard work and dedication allowed him to have the equipment he enjoyed  as well as building a foundation for the business to succeed in the years to come.  
Larry enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.  Larry was always a gentle friendly face who would take the time to say hello.  He enjoyed visiting with the customers as he pumped their septic tanks. He loved his big yellow dog Rosie who was his best friend and faithful companion whom he took for a ride every morning to each end of the road in his truck before going to work.   The only vacation Larry ever took was once a year to attend the WNY Gas and Steam Show with his family.   He drove his golf cart around every year finding deals in the flea market, tractors to look at and old friends to talk to.  
Larry is predeceased by his beloved wife Linda (Schwartz) Mahar.  Devoted and loving father of Rebecca (Adam) Price of Batavia and Joseph (Lyndsay) Mahar of Gasport; PaPa to Isabella, Eliza Mae, Hailey and Joey.  He is survived by his brother James Mahar and sister  Linda McDonough as well as several in-laws, nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his brothers William Mahar, David (Joan) Mahar and Francis (Maryann) Mahar. 
There will be no visitation.  A private graveside service will be held in the Hartland Cemetery.  A memorial picnic will be held this summer at the farm under the big maple trees.

LOCKPORT, Oct. 26-A mother
and her two small children were
killed at 4 o'clock-yesterday afternoon
in a two-car collision at Slayton
Settlement and Orangeport
roads, near Gasport. Four other
persons were injured.
The dead:
Mrs. Rose Ann Baehr, 23, of
Lockport-OIcott Rd., Wrights
Corners.
Jerry Baehr, 3Vi,
Roger Baehr, five weeks.
The injured:
Clarence Otto Baehr, 27, husband
of the dead woman, severe
head and internal injuries, condition
critical.
Paul Piatt, 17, of Appleton, multiple
contusions, shock and perhaps
internal injuries.
Carolyn Thiel, 14, of Barker, jaw
fracture, cuts and bruises.
Patricia Meland, 15, of Barker,
multiple abrasions, shock and possibly
a hip fracture.
Trapped Under Car
Sheriff deputies said all the in-
jured were taken to Lockport City
Hospital. They said Baehr was
driving one auto; Platt, the other.
The Meland and Thiel girls were
riding with Platt.
Mrs. Baehr was killed instantly
when she was thrown from her
husband's auto and pinned beneath
Platt's car. The children, also
thrown from the car, were rushed
to City Hospital, but were pro-
nounced dead on arrival there.
The Baehrs were returning home
from the funeral of John Leffler
Jr., 12, of West Shelby, one of two
boys who were burned to death
last Thursday when an auto in
which they were riding went out
of control and plunged down an
embankment near Gasport. Yes-
terday's accident occurred less than
a mile from the scene of Thursday's
tragedy.
Mrs. Baehr was a cousin of the
Leffler boy.
Mrs. Baehr's brother, Donald
Weir of Newfane, said the Baehrs
took their baby, Roger, to St.
Michael's Church at Wolcottsville
yesterday morning to be christened
and went from there to the Leffler
funeral. Mrs. Baehr lived at Wolcottsville
until her marriage about
seven years ago.
"Saw Nothing Coming"
Lester Meland of Barker, father
of the Meland girl, said his daughter
and the Thiel girl had lunch
together at noon, then went for a
ride with Piatt. All three are
students at Barker Central School.
Piatt told deputies he was driving
south in Orangeport Road, and
stopped at the intersection for a
boulevard stop sign.
"I looked both ways, but saw
nothing coming," he said.
When he started across Slayton
Settlement Road Piatt said, the
Baehr car "loomed up from the
east," and struck the side of his
auto.
The careening autos knocked
down a power pole, then crashed
against a viaduct on the opposite
side of the road.
The Platt car had to be raised
by passersby before Mrs. Baehr's
body could be extricated.
Dr. Walter Albach, Newfane
coroner, said he would await a
complete report of the accident
before issuing death certificates.
Funeral plans for the three victims
are being completed today.
