Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, January 24, 1946 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Girl Fatally Injured in Auto Mishap - Lois Olin, 14, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Glen Olin of Richland died early Sunday morning from injuries received about an hour before when she was crushed between two cars. One of the cars, operated by Dayton Whaley, 27, Richland was standing still and the second which was driven by Harold Castor, Altmar R.D., came from the rear. According to investigation by trooper Donald Murphy, the accident happened about 1 a.m. Sunday on the Potter street road, town of Albion, a short distance north of Altmar. Lois, with two cousins, Franldin and Mary Sampson, had been attending a box social and dance held by the Defiance Fire Company of Altmar in the school gym. They were on their way to the Sampson home, just north of the village when overtaken by a car driven by Whaley who was bringing home a number of young people from Richland from the dance. The trio got into the car, rode out to the Sampson home, and Lois got out of the left rear door and started around the back of the car. The Castor car, headed in the same direction, struck the Whaley car in the rear and apparently the girl was pinned between them. Dr. A. B. Thompson was called, but could do little to save the girl. Death apparently resulted from a fractured skull and extensive internal injuries. Others injured were Castor, who suffered facial and mouth lacerations and lost several teeth, Mrs. Mary Dingman, 24, Richland, lacerations of the hands, her two children, Althea, 8, and Beverly, 6, who suffered minor lacerations and brush burns, Lena L. Person, 19, Pulaski, injuries to the lower right leg, all passengers in the Castor car. Mary Sampson, 18, Altmar, passenger in the Whaley car, bruises and shock. Other passengers in the Whaley car, who escaped injury included Anita Warren, Charles Gerdon, Orla Reynolds and Willis Waite, all of Richland, and Franldin Sampson, Altmar. Harold Castor, driver of the moving car, was arraigned before Justice Rex Weldon of the town of Albion late Sunday and sentenced without fine or bail to Oswego County jail for 10 days on a charge of driving an unregistered vehicle. The driver of the motionless car, Dayton Whaley, was arraigned on charge of having improper registered vehicle and fined $5. Miss Olin's body was released to Funeral Director Norman W. Brown of Altmar, but investigation of the accident is being conducted both by the State Police and the Oswego County District Attorney's office. The girl was born in Albion on September 26, 1931, the daughter of Glen and Gertrude DeGarmo Olin. She had made her home in or near Altmar until four years ago when the family moved to Richland. She was a student in Pulaski academy in her junior year and was a member of the choir of Richland Methodist church and of the Girl Scouts of that village. Prater was said at the family home at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday with services, conducted by Rev. Donald M. Cobb in Methodist church at 2 p.m. Burial was in Richland cemetery.
