TWO ARE KILLED THREE OTHERS INJURED
Auto Crashes into Freight Train at US-27
South of Mt. Pleasant With Fatal Results
Two Are Taken To Ann Arbor
October 5, 1930
John Bruskotter and Melvin Sullivan are dead and Hubert Doepker and Alfred Robison are Seriously Injured.
Two well known residents of Coe township were killed, two others seriously injured and a fifth received less serious injuries when an automobile driven by Melville Sullivan, who resided two and one-half miles southeast of Shepherd, crashed into a freight train at the crossing on US 27, about three miles south of Mt. Pleasant about six o'clock Sunday morning.
With Mr. Sullivan in the car was John Bruskotter and Hubert Doepker, neighbors, and Alfred Robinson and Otto Myers of this village.
The men were on their way to Mt. Pleasant where they were employed at the Columbia Sugar Factory. A heavy fog obscured their vision and according to Mr. Myers they were within forty or fifty feet of the track and were going about thirty-five miles an hour when the first saw the train. The automobile crashed into the 28th car of the train which was loaded with evergreen from the north for funeral wreaths. This car was thrown from the rails and landed in a ditch about 100 yards down the track, while the automobile was carried but a few feet before being (can't read) a pile of scrap by the side of the track.
Mr. Bruskotter was instantly killed, while Mr. Sullivan lived about two hours after being taken to the hospital at Mt. Pleasant. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Doepker was also taken to the hospital at Mt. Pleasant and Monday were removed to the hospital at Ann Arbor. Both men are very seriously injured, but some hopes are entertained for their recovery. Mr. Myers escaped with a severe scalp wound and minor bruises.
Another car occupied by W. B. Schilchter and his 11 year old son, Richard, of Alma, were compelled to take to the ditch to avoid hitting one of the bodies and was some what damaged and the boy cut when his head crashed through the windshield.
Mr. Bruskotter is survived by his wife and ten children and an aged father who made his home with him.
Mr. Sullivan leaves a wife, who is in very poor health, and three children.
This makes eleven residents of this township who have met violent deaths within the year and all of them have been of a tragic nature.

Schneider, 47, his wife Eleanore, 47, and their son Danny. The suspects were identified as Bennie Thomas, 26, and Albert Price Jr., 17, both of Saginaw. Thomas, police said, was arrested earlier in connection with a double shooting that occurred one day after the Schneiders were slain [by an] apparent intruder. Thomas and Price were charged with three counts of felony murder and with one count each of conspiracy to commit robbery.
