"tired of living."
Shortly after 10 o'clock Sunday morning he asked his wife,
Mrs. Maggie Hendricks, to go to the home of a neighbor and tell them he had
seen the hard wind blow some shingles from the roof of their house. As his wife returned and entered the door,
Mr. Hendricks drank the acid. The wife
hurriedly summoned a grandson, Harold Martin and wife, who were nearby. Physicians were also called, but Mr.
Hendricks had passed away before their arrival.

Lt. Clifford Hendrickson
Bodies Of Two War II Veterans Are Returned
The caskets bearing the bodies of two servicemen from this
area who lost their lives in the European Theatre of war arrived in Huntingburg
by train at 11:05 this morning.
Second Lt. Clifford Hendrickson, 27, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Hendrickson, Route 1, Jasper, was killed when the bomber he was piloting
home from Germany crashed in England,
ten miles from it's base, on December 23, 1944.
The other casualty returned to Huntingburg this morning is
Pfc Alvin A. Vaal, son of Mr. and Mrs. August Vaal of St. Meinrad. He was killed after taking part in the
invasion of Southern France when struck by a small piece of shrapnel, which
pierced his heart.
Lt. Cliff Hendrickson
Lt. Clifford Hendrickson was born at Vincennes on October
4, 1917. The family later moved to
Jasper when he was six, and here he attended the public schools and high
school. Following his graduation from
J.H.S. in 1935, he went to work for the Hoosier Desk Co. At 19 he enlisted in the Marines.
After serving for about a year in the Philippines he
returned to Jasper and took a job at the Jasper Office Furniture Co. At the same time, he took flying lessons at
the Huntingburg Airport, receiving a flying license in January, 1940.
In the fall of 1941, convinced that America could not stay
out of the war, he decided to join the British Royal Air Force. He went to Canada, and on October 1, 1941,
enlisted in the R.A.F. On his birthday,
Oct 4, he boarded a ship for England, where he was assigned to the Polish
division of the R.A.F.
After America entered the war the following December, he
applied for a transfer to the U.S. Air Forces.
The request was granted, and he returned to Canada where
he was demobilized on May 13, 1942. On
the same day he went to Detroit and applied for enlistment as a cadet in the
U.S. Army Corps and was accepted. He
then trained at about 17 bases in the U.S. and was commissioned a second
lieutenant. In August 1944, he sailed for England.
It was while piloting a bomber home from Germany that
Cliff Hendrickson was killed. According
to information provided his parents by the only surviving crew member, the
plane was badly shot up while dropping aluminum foil over Berlin to interfere
with the German radar.
The plane stopped at Brussels for five days for repairs,
and according to the surviving crewman the altimeter was 500 feet off the
correct reading when the plane resumed its flight. The plane was flying through a dense fog at
night when it crashed ten miles from its base, killing eight of the nine crew
members.
Surviving Lt. Hendrickson are his parents and two sisters, Mrs. Clarita Messmer and
Mrs.Wm. Horney.
His body was taken to the chapel of the Becher & Son
Mortuary.
Funeral services will be held in the chapel at 2 P.M.
Thursday, with Rev. Cail E Kircher of the First Presbyterian church
officiating. Interment will be in Shiloh
cemetery. Graveside rites will be
conducted by members of Post 147, American Legion.

Woodrow Wilson Hendrickson
TWO YEAR OLD CHILD DROWNS IN OPEN SPRING
Tot Playing With Other Children Tumbles Into Spring and
Drowned Before the Mother Can Rescue Him
(Special to The Commercial)
Verne, Ind., July 10 - Tragedy entered the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Louis Hendrickson, living near Fritchton, on Friday evening at 7 o'clock
when their two-year-old son, Woodrow Wilson Hendrickson, while playing in the
yard with his brothers and sisters toppled over into an open spring near the
house and was drowned.
The other children, all small tots, were too frightened
when they saw Woodrow fall into the spring, to attempt to rescue him, but ran
crying to the house to tell the mother of the little brother's sad plight. Mrs. Hendrickson ran down to the spring and
pulled the lifeless body from the water.
Frantic with grief she called for a physician hoping against hope that there
might be a little spark of life still lingering to be fanned into a living
flame, but the words of the doctor shattered all hope. Woodrow was dead - had been dead when his
body was pulled from the water.
Through some misunderstanding the coroner failed to arrive
until 11 o'clock today. The undertaker
had not been here, waiting for the arrival of the coroner. The little body was then prepared for burial.
Funeral services will be conducted from Lower Indiana
church on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, in charge of the Rev. Caldwell. Burial will be made in the adjoining
cemetery.
Surviving besides the parents are two brothers,
Arthur William and Oscar Richard Hendrickson, and three sisters, Dorothy

James Purcell
Little Boy Killed Under Steamroller
Lad Made No Outcry (The Shoals News)
James Purcell, the 6 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John
Purcell was fatally crushed at Sixth and Central avenue by being run over by a
5,000 pound steam roller, almost in front of the home of his parents on Sixth
street. The child, though crushed from the feet to the waist, made no outcry.
He died at St. Joseph's hospital, and to his parents, as he was dying, he kept
trying to explain that "I couldn't get out of the way of the old
thing." The lad was caught while trying to jump off in front of the
roller, which was moving along at the rate of about one and one half miles an
hour, according to the owner, Fred Gerdes. Gerdes had been using the steam
roller to roll down a job of paving at St. Patrick's church, and was on his way
home up Central avenue. He had gone just two blocks when the fatal accident
occurred. Mr. Gerdes was driving the steam roller along and he says that he did
not see the little boy who had leaped on the front part of the roller frame and
was riding along. The lad jumped off and fell as he jumped. Bystanders who
witnessed the accident said that he scrambled along in the path of the roller
on hands and feet, trying to get out of the way. The machine was making such a
racket as it progressed, Gerdes could not hear the shouts of warning, if any
were uttered in time. It was only after the child had been caught, Gerdes said,
he was warned by a little boy that the child was being crushed to death forward
under his steam roller. He stopped the machine, backed it up, and the child was
tenderly picked up and borne to the hospital two blocks away. Dr. J. N. Shaff
said that although the child was crushed from the feet to the waistline under
the roller, when the surgeon arrived there was not any visible evidence of the
crushing in so far as there might be flattened flesh and muscles. The tenacious
character of the child's bones and muscles was shown by the fact that they very
soon resumed their normal shape. However, the child's internal organs had been
fatally injured by the crushing process, and the lad succumbed to his injuries
in the hospital one hour after he was hurt. He astonished everybody by
retaining consciousness up to the last minute, and he talked to his parents up
to the last.
