    • WRIGHTS CORNERS MOTHER, 2 TOTS KILLED IN CRASH
      4 Others Hurt; Woman Was Returning From Accident Victim's Funeral
      LOCKPORT, Oct. 26 - A mother and her two small children were killed at 4 o'clock-yesterday afternoon in a two-car collision at Slayton Settlement and Orangeport roads, near Gasport. Four other persons were injured. The dead: Mrs. Rose Ann Baehr, 23, of Lockport-Olcott Rd., Wrights Corners. Jerry Baehr, 31/2, Roger Baehr, five weeks. The injured: Clarence Otto Baehr, 27, husband of the dead woman, severe head and internal injuries, condition critical. Paul Piatt, 17, of Appleton, multiple contusions, shock and perhaps internal injuries. Carolyn Thiel, 14, of Barker, jaw fracture, cuts and bruises. Patricia Meland, 15, of Barker, multiple abrasions, shock and possibly a hip fracture.
      Trapped Under Car
      Sheriffs deputies said all the injured were taken to Lockport City Hospital . They said Baehr was driving one auto, Platt the other. The meland and Thiel girls were riding with Platt Mrs. Baehr was killed instantly when she was thrown from her husband's auto and pinned beneath Piatt's car. The children, also thrown from the car, were rushed to City Hospital, but were pronounced dead on arrival there. The Baehrs were returning home from the funeral of John Leffler Jr., 12, of West Shelby, one of two boys who were burned to death last Thursday when an auto in which they were riding went out of control and down an embankment near Gasport. Yesterday's accident occurred less than a mile from the scene of Thursday's tragedy. Mrs. Baehr was a cousin of the Leffler boy. Mrs. Baehr's brother, Donald Weir of Newfane, said the Baehrs took their baby, Roger, to St. Michael's Church at Wolcottsville yesterday morning to be christened and went from there to the Leffler funeral. Mrs. Baehr lived at Wolcottsville until her marriage about seven years ago.
      "Saw Nothing Coming"
      Lester Meland of Barker, father of the Meland girl, said his daughter and the Thiel girl had lunch together at noon, then went for a ride with Piatt. All three are students at Barker Central School. Piatt told deputies he was driving south in Orangeport Road, and stopped at the intersection for a boulevard stop sign. "I looked both ways, but saw nothing coming," he said. When he started across Slayton Settlement Road Piatt said, the Baehr car "loomed up from the east," and struck the side of his auto. The careening autos knocked down a power pole, then crashed against a viaduct on the opposite side of the road. The Piatt car had to be raised by passersby before Mrs. Baehr's body could be extricated. Dr. Walter Albach, Newfane coroner, said he would await a complete report of the accident
      before issuing death certificates. Funeral plans for the three victims are being completed today.
