2231	http://newspapers.rawson.lib.mi.us/search/ Cass City Chronicle – Friday, June 15, 1945 Page Four Oak Bluff Breezes Grief and sorrow have again come to Oak Bluff this week, this time in the sudden and unexpected death of Dr. J. E. Wurm, one of our best known and respected members. This is the second such loss we have had during the past year, Dr. M.M. Wickware having passed away late last fall. Both men were self educated and self made, having reached their places of responsibility and respect through their own efforts and abilities, and their passing has dealt the association a serious blow, from which it will not soon recover. Both men will be greatly missed. Dr. Wurm was a former director and secretary of the Cass City Summer Home club for several years, having been a member of the club since 1935. This past season he remodelled his cottage into a permanent home and with Mrs. Wurm spent the entire winter here. It was his desire and plan to retire from business and spend more time here but war and national problems had prevented this and he was active and vigorous up almost to the time of his death last Thursday. Dr. Wurm was born and reared on a farm near Ubly, spent several winters of his early manhood in the lumbering business in northern Michigan and about the turn of the century decided to enter the University of Toronto. [Error - see note below.] He graduated from the university in 1902 in Veterinary Medicine and Surgery and practiced his profession in Elkton and Pigeon until 1924. In that year he entered the automobile business in Pigeon, later selling his Ford franchise and taking over the General Motors agency in Sebewaing and Unionville. Both of these ventures were very successful financially and in 1936 he dipsosed of the automobile business to become manager of the Sebewaing Brewing Co., a position which he did not seek and which was thrust upon him. Like all his efforts, he lifted this concern from a bad financial condition to a prosperous and going business. About three years ago he was elected a director of the Farmers’ and Merchants’ State Bank of Sebewaing and later was chosen its president. He has always been active in all civic affairs in whatever town he has been located, was an active member of Rotary and past president of the Sebewaing chapter, a member of the Masonic order, and a former director of the Michigan Tourists association. He was widely and favorably known throughout the state, especially the Upper Thumb section and he will be greatly missed by a host of friends, particularly those here at Oak Bluff who knew him best. NOTE: University of Guelph Alumni Affairs confirms that Dr. John E. Wurm actually graduated from the University of Guelph, not the University of Toronto, in 1902. At the time of his registration at U of G, John's residence was listed as Ubley, Michigan.	Wurm, Dr. John Edward (I12258)

Special to The New York Times. January 4, 1907, Friday Page 1, 465 words OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 3. -- The famous Overland Limited and Los Angeles Limited trains on the Union Pacific Railroad came together in a rear-end collision at Brule, Neb., last night, killing E.W. Hastings of New York, fatally injuring two other passengers, injuring more or less badly eleven passengers and wrecking eleven cars and one locomotive. The Overland, nearly ten hours late, was running only ten minutes ahead of the Los Angeles Limited, which was seven hours late. Both are scheduled to go through Brule at sixty miles an hour, but when the Overland came in sight of that station it was seen that the "order" signal was in place, and the train stopped for orders. The flagman was sent back the required 400 yards, and remained in place until recalled, when he lighted a "fusee" and left it burning beside the track. Just as the Overland started, and was running four miles an hour, the Los Angeles swept around a curve and was unable to stop before reaching the Overland. The fusee had been hidden by a hill. At almost full speed the Los Angeles struck the observation car on the Overland and plowed half through it. W. H. Thacher of Dubuque, Iowa, who was in the car, said: "I was sitting in a chair at about the middle of the observation car, looking toward the rear. Suddenly a headlight appeared up the track, possibly 200 feet away. At once I realized that it was on an engine, and that the engine was coming at a good rate of speed. With the cry 'Look out!' I ran to the front end of the car. The other men evidently saw it at about the same time, for all started to run. "When the oncoming locomotive struck us, I was thrown to one side, and when I recovered there was the engine, with steam hissing from a hundred places, right in the centre of the car. The floor of the car was crushed down, the roof lifted off and thrown to one side, and every light was out. Only the red glare of the fire from the locomotive lighted us, and cries of the wounded on every side added to the terror of the moment." E. W. Hastings, who was killed in the wreck of the Union Pacific Overland Limited, was an actor well known in this city. He was returning to New York from Portland, Ore., where he had played for some time with a stock company. Hastings was a member of the Lambs' Club, the Players Club, and the Actors' Society of America. He was a brother of Cuyler Hastings, a well-known New York leading man.

Gilbertson 'Hot,' Sergeant Says of Invasion of Leyte Island WITH THE 24TH INFANTRY (VICTORY) DIVISION IN THE PHILIPPINES?Sergeant Howard M. Gilbertson of Eau Claire is not strictly a combat soldier, but he would have traded his job in a signal unit of the 24th Division for a rifle and deep front line foxhole on numerous occasions in the invasion of Leyte Island. As sergeant in a wire section, Gilbertson worked along the front lines in the thick of battle much of the time, stringing telephone wires from a central control point to the combat units. "Things were hot from the start," he said. "Coming ashore, our landing craft was the target for artillery shells, which landed all around us. On the beach, we met mortar and machine gun fire. It was the same a few hundred feet inland, except that sniper fire was added. In the dime-sized beachhead, we met most of the hot stuff. "After that, it was snipers. They shot at us as we strung wire at the front, along the roads, and in the woods. The coconut trees seemed to have more snipers in them than there were Japs on the ground. "Most of our work was in exposed positions. We expected, at any time, to climb a tree to string wire and find ourselves alongside one of the snipers. "The bivouac area was hot with sniper fire also but, there, we had foxholes to dive into when bullets started coming too close. Those Japs shot at you while you were eating, washing, shaving, and dressing. Luckily, their aim was bad, for they never seemed to hit anyone. On the road, however, they made a portable foxhole a highly desirable thing for, there, our only protection was a tree or a ditch along the road. Gilbertson is the son of Mrs. George Gilbertson of 515 Forest Street, Eau Claire.	Gilbertson, Sgt Howard (I32896)
