    Notes:

    Teenager Loses Life in Accident
    Defiance County recorded its ninth traffic fatality of the year Wednesday evening, when a local teenager died of injuries sustained in a one-car crash on the Evansport Road, one-half mile south of Scott Road.
    The victim was:
    Beverly Jean Hancock, 16, rt.1, Bryan, who was taken by the rescue squad to Defiance Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 6:40 p.m. Wednesday. According to Dr. Francis M. Lenhart, Defiance County Coroner, death was attributed to a fractured skull and ribs, accompanied by abdominal hemorrhaging.
    Defiance County Sherriff’s Department reports she was driving a 1963 convertible north on Evansport Road at 5:40 p.m. Wednesday and, or some undetermined reason, lost control of the auto. It apparently first went off the right side of the road then back across on the other side and struck a Toledo Edison power pole, splitting it.
    A deputy at the scene said the vehicle wrapped around the pole and “… spun like a top” before it came to rest. The Hancock girl was pinned in the car for approximately 30 minutes, and the steering wheel had to cut off before she could be taken out.
    Assisting the sheriff’s office at the scene were rescue units from Defiance and Evansport plus the state patrol.
    The road was said to be dry at the time and an investigation continues.
    The car was registered to Lowell Blanton, rt.1, Bryan, Beverly’s stepfather, and she was believed to have been returning home from a trip to a greenhouse near Tiffin Elementary School. The Evansport Cemetery is located on both side of the road where the accident occurred.
    She was born Sept. 11, 1953 in Defiance and previously attended Ayersville and Tinora schools. Beverly was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church and would have been a senior this fall at Stryker High School.
    Survivors include her father, Kenneth Hancock, rt.1; her mother, Mrs. Lowell (Glenola Schafer) Blanton, rt.1, Bryan; three sisters, Mrs. Ronald (Peggy) Davis, Green Acres Mobil Home Court; Mary and Patsy Hancock, at home; a brother, Dale Louis Hancock, at home; her grandfather, Dale Hancock, rt.1, and her grandmother, Mrs. Perry Mansfield, Leipsic.
    Friends may ball after 7 p.m. today in Mast and Mock Funeral Home, where services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday with Rev. David R. Koenig officiating. Burial will be in Brunersburg Cemetery.
