• Notes

  Per Grandma (Janice Angell Cooper), on the day that Elliott Jr died, he had stopped by Grandma's house on Perry street after work but they weren't there. He was on his way to dance lessons on Superior Street when he was hit by a train. He had just come home from work & was dirty & didn't want them taken but Grandma insisted. She is happy that she did now. Newspaper article from Sept 1942 (not sure of paper name or exact date) Parma Man is Killed Elliott Angell Is Fatally Hurt by Train. Elliott B. Angell, J r, 20, of Parma, repair worker in the general stores department of the Consumers Power Co., Jackson, for the last year, died in a hospital at Albion Wednesday night an hour after his car had been struck by a Michigan Central freight train at the Erie St. crossing, Albion. He apparently drove onto the tracks in front of the westbound train just after the eastbound passenger "flyer" had passed. He was taken to Sheldon Memorial hospital. Angell was a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Angell, who survived with two sisters, Mrs. R. B. Joslyn of Lansing and Mrs. Glenn Cooper of Albion, and his grandmother, Mrs. Oscar Baker of Jackson.

The village was shocked today to learn that Elliott Angell, Jr. 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Angell, died Wednesday evening from the result of injuries received earlier in the evening when he was hit by a train at the Erie St. crossing in Albion as he was crossing the tracks in his car. According to witnesses, Angell, headed west on Erie Street , had waited for an eastbound train to pass and as he was crossing the tracks was struck by a west-bound train. Following the accident, he was moved to Sheldon Memorial hospital in Albion where he died about 45 minutes after being admitted, never regaining consciousness. Funeral services will be held in the Parma United church at three o'clock Saturday afternoon with arrangements by the Lane Funeral Home. Surviving besides the parents are two sisters, Mrs. R. B.
