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.
