Marie, 13, and Karen, 7, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Paugh, former residents of Veedersburg were instantly killed last Saturday afternoon in Brookston, Indiana when the car in which they were riding was struck by a Monon train. The Paul children were in route to a Sunday School skating party with a neighbor driving the car when the tragedy occurred at about 1:30 p.m. at a Brookstone crossing.  A 12-year-old boy riding in the rear seat of the car with the Paugh children was also killed but the driver and two children riding in the front seat escaped by jumping when the car stalled on the crossing as the train approached. The Paugh’s who operated the Regal Grocery Store here for several years moved to Brookston about a year ago. They have one other child, Dallas Jr 12 who was not along on the ill-fated trip. - kbz
