From
the Pharos Tribune archives, Tuesday 6/24/1969
Find Body In Wrecked Auto
Police Believe Man Died Friday
Morning
The
body of a man reported missing since 1 a.m. Friday, June 20, was found about
3 p.m. Monday
in the wreckage of his 1969 auto in a wooded area west of the overhead bridge
on U.S. 24 east. The accident is believed to have occurred about 2 a.m.
Friday.
The victim, Donald L. Cowell, 27, of Rt. 5, Valley
View Dr., was reported missing by his wife on Sunday. She told the Cass
County Sheriff's department that her husband had been last seen alive about 1
a.m. Friday.
The site of the crash was in a wooded area
about 500 feet west of the "killer bridge," seven miles east of the
city on U.S. 24. Authorities said Cowell apparently had been westbound
when his auto went off the right side of the road on the curve next to the
bridge, and down a 225 foot embankment. The top of the vehicle was
sheared off when it struck a large tree. The auto came to rest on its
left side, police said. Investigating officers said Cowell apparently
fell asleep and that excessive speed was also a factor in the accident.
According to the accident report, Cowell's speed at the time of the
accident was estimated at 80 miles an hour.
A wrecker was used to free Cowell's body from
the wreckage and a crane from Wolf Construction Company was used to remove
the demolished auto. Cass County Coroner Manfred Wolf said death was
due to a skull fracture and crushed chest. The accident, was found by
Al Wandle, of Logansport, a friend of the victim.
Cowell's death raises the Cass County traffic
fatality toll for 1969 to eight. Investigating officers included
Sheriff Rex Harris, Deputy. Sheriff Frank Johnson, Sgt. Dale Douglas,
Troopers Steve Becsei, James Hoover and Richard Keyes, and Coroner Wolf.
Born in Cass County, May 31, 1942, the victim
was the son of Thomas Cowell, Flora, and Mrs. Thelma Sailors Pence, 514 West
Market St.
He was employed as an inspector at the Chrysler
Corporation in Kokomo and worked part time in the auto service center of
Penney's, Logansport.
He was a member of Faith United Methodist
Church and the United Auto Workers Union.
His marriage was to the former Ruth Ann
Michael, Dec. 21, 1960.
Surviving with his parents and widow are two
children. Tina Marie, 8, and Timothy Mark, 3, both at home; a sister, Miss
Corinna Cowell, 514 West Market St.; a brother, Eugene, 815 Helm St., and a
half-brother, David Duane Cowell, Flora.
