63d YEAR—NUMBER 193
Be Home... Ever Again’
William Denton Ward, 36, of 2007 Brookside Ave., died in Methodist Hospital at 6 p. m. yesterday. Both his_legs had been cut off an hour earlier
when he fell beneath the working in the New York
wheels of a coal car while Central Middle Hill Yards.
By R. K. SHULL
PADDY won't be home...
ever again.
That was the stunned realization of the five fatherless
children and the widow of William Denton Ward Jr. last
night. “I want to cry, but I can’t. I'm ‘all empty inside and the tears won't come anymore.” Mrs. Nelda R. Ward sat in the
darkened kitchen of her home, out of sight from her five small children.
She was just back from the hos- 4
pital, where she had arrived moments after her husband died.
‘In the living room of their neat home—half a duplex— the five children sat watching television, Anita, 13, was in the corner silently weeping, covering her face with a handkerchief if one of her little brothers and sisters happened to glance her way. ; The other four children are William D. Ward III, 10; Patricia Lou, 7; Norval, 5, apd Denelda, 4.
o ” s THEIR FATHER, known to his many friends as Denny, only had been at work less than an hour when “the accident occurred. He was pulling the connecting pins from between cars as they were shoved over the yard hump, He tripped, falling in the path of the gondola car. NA The dead man’s father and * step-mother, Mr. and Mrs, Denton Ward, arrived at the stricken home. Denton” Ward, tears streaming down his ruddy face, smacked his fist into the palm of his other hand in frustration. “Those kids . . . those wonderful kids,” his hoarse voice cracked with a sob. “I just came back from a funeral, and now this, We'd just got inte town when the minister called,” he talked on, rubbing his large hand over his face.
» » » THE FAMILY'S minister, Rev. Rufus M. Dodrill of ‘the "Broadway Baptist Church, first had taken Mrs, Ward to the hospital, then home again. Later, he informed other members. of the family of the tragedy. Mr. and Mrs. Ward had been in Crothersville "attending the funeral .of her nephew, Lloyd Hahn, 22, who was killed in action in Kaqrea July 10. * “Denny worked on the railroad for 10 years. And all the time I've been telling him to quit. I always was sorry he took the job,” Mr. Ward said. “I was going to stay all night in Crothersville, but something told me to come back. I didn’t know what it was, but I could feel it.
” 5 » , «“yoU. NEVER get used to these things, .but I guess you learn to stand the shock better,” Mr. Ward said, pacing the front porch of his dead son’s home. Mrs. A. V. Francis, 71, of 1728 College Ave., grandmother of Denny, was completely | crushed When she learned of | “Denny” Ward's death. She had reared him, «after his mother died when he was 1 year old. “What will become of his wife and the five children now,” Mrs. Francis cried in despair. “That question was answered by Nelda Ward herself. An hour | after her husband had died in the hospital emergency room, she joined the elder Wards on her front porch.
” = ” “I WAS going to start work Monday, but I guess they'll hold the job a couple of days. | I'm young and healthy, and with wonderful kids like I have, | we'll get along all right,” the resolute Mrs. Ward said. Her father-in-law offered her
