Greencastle, PA Auto Accident, Oct 1920 Fourth victim dead

Mrs. McClintock, of Harrisburg, Injured at Greencastle Plunges Off Bridge at Greencastle Sunday

Mrs. Aldemia McClintock died at the Chambersburg Hospital Thursday evening at 6 o’clock, the fourth victim of the automobile accident on the outskirts of Greencastle last Sunday forenoon in which her husband, Thomas J. McClintock, a Pennsylvania railroad engineer; Mrs. Stephen M. Rowley and John C. H. Care, all of Harrisburg, lost their lives.

Mrs. McClintock passed away surrounded by relatives who had been summoned because of her critical condition. She died without knowing her husband had also been fatally hurt. The body was taken to Harrisburg after a jury impaneled by Coroner J. H. Kinter and his jury heard a witness who identified the woman.

When Mrs. McClintock was taken to the hospital she was unconscious and continued in that condition the greater part of the time prior to her death. Several times she had moment of consciousness, but surgeons feared to tell her of her husband’s fate lest it hasten her own death.

The coroner’s jury will meet on Monday to inquire further into the cause of the accident and reach a verdict.
