  MAN INSTANTLY KILLED BY TRAIN FATAL ACCIDENT AT SHOEMAKERSVILLE Shoemakersville, Aug. 9 (Special). - Morris A. Ernst, of Franklin street, this borough, was instantly killed at about 5:55 a. m. today when an automobile truck operated by him was struck by a freight train at the Main street crossing of the Pennsylvania Railroad at this place. Mr. Ernst had left the garage only a few minutes before the accident. The automobile, which was badly damaged, was the property of the Globe Beach Works, this borough, by whom he was employed. The death of Mr. Ernst was instantaneous, as he was thrown from the automobile with terrific force striking his head upon one of the tracks. The train was stopped a short distance from the point of accident and members of the crew ran to the aid of the unfortunate man. They found on examination that medical assistance was useless as the man was dead. Deputy Coroner Leon Gruber was summoned and viewed the remains and ordered their removal to the Ernst home. Deceased was well known in this section of the county and had a host of friends. He took an active part in all civic movements of the borough, and was register assessor of Tildren, Perry and Windsor township many years. He was also Republican chairman of this place. He was aged 62 years, 3 months and 19 days. Mr. Ernst is survived by his widow, Emma A. (Huyett), one son, Dr. Lincoln M. Ernst, Temple; a daughter, Florence, Philadelphia; also two grandchildren, a sister, Mrs. Sarah Sunday, Tilden township. Published in The Reading Eagle - Thursday, August 9, 1923.
