An entire family ofthree persons was wiped out atnoon Tuesday when Mr. and Mrs. JohnHEIGHWAY, ofMacy, and their daughter, Mrs. LONG, ofnear Akron, were instantly killed by aspeeding Winona interurban car that struck the automobile in which they were riding at across road twomiles north ofAkron.According to an eye witness ofthe tragedy, awoman who resides in the neighborhood and saw thewhole affair from adistance ofless than aquarter ofamile, the Heighway car, aFord touring car, wasbeing driven east across the interurban tracks at what is known as Bear's crossing.The automobile crossed the tracks and evidently was being driven too fast to make the abrupt turn southon the road that follows the railroad tracks intoAkron, for the machine was halted.After but amomentary stop, the car was backed up onto the interurban tracks, evidently to enable thedriver to make the turn south into Akron, when theWinona south bound train due in Akron at aboutnoon, came along at a speed estimated at approximately 45 to 50 miles an hourandhit the automobile.The interurban traveled between 200 and 300 feet before being brot to a complete stop and theautomobile was ground to abroken and twisted mass ofwreckage beneath the big car.The occupants ofthe car were scattered about, the youngest member ofthe party, Mrs. Long, havingbeenthrown fully 100 feet from the crossing, where the auto was struck.All were dead when picked up by the crew and occupants ofthe interurban, having suffered manybroken bones and their skulls were crushed by the terrific impact with the swiftly moving car.The bodies were taken to Akron.Mr. and Mrs. John HEIGHWAY were life long residents ofFulton county. Mr. Heighway wasespecially well known overthe county, having taughtschool at Kewanna and laterhe was elected trusteeofHenry township. He had resided for many years onhis farm onthe Ft. Wayne road, east ofRochesterandalmost duenorth of Athens. He was little more than50years of age.Mrs. Heighway about 42 years of age, was formerly Miss Myrtie KESSLER, daughter ofMrs. M. L.KESSLER, of Chicago. She is survived by the mother anda sister, Mrs. William KING, also ofChicago. Mr. Heighway is survived by a brother, Colfax HEIGHWAY, ofNewcastle township, and asister, Mrs. Anna LEININGER, who also resides east ofRochester.The daughter, Mrs. WorthLONG, is survived by her husband. She lived on a farm near Akron.The motorman of the interurban car.Grant HILLIARD, ofWarsaw, is said byAkron residents to benoted for the manner in which heoperates his car. Heis said tobenegligent and hiscar has figured inseveral accidents recently, the last onethe only onein which therewere anyfatalities. There wasnotestimony offered up to the Sentinel'spress time as to whether or not the motorman had blown hiswhistle for the crossing.

It was later learned that Mr. and Mrs. Heighway had motored from Macy, where heis the principal ofthe schools, to their farm north ofAthens, where their daughter and her husband reside. Mrs. Longaccompanied them from there to the interurban crossing, where the family intended to takea car toMentone, where they expected to attend the funeral of an uncle. They had driven across the tracks to thecross roads, where they turned theautomobile around andwere driving back across to park thecaruntilthey had returned from Mentone, when they were struck.

As he turned her overhe discovered that she too was dead and another passenger on the car had already reached the motherMrs. Heighway, also found horribly mutilated and already dead.The crossing where the accident occurred is open, aclear view of the track being afforded from eitherdirection. Mr. Heighway is believed to have stalled his motor while on the tracks when he evidently sawthe swiftly approaching trolley. Mr. Losey says that it is his beliefthat the motorman of the car wasabsolutely free from blame, especially in view of the fact that the motorman's stoiy and that of two eyewtnesses ot the tragedy corroborate in all details. The motorman is said to have collapsed immediatelyafter stopping his car. ^
