Brothers Die On an Iowa Rail Crossing
Two brothers were killed Wednesday morning when the truck in which they were riding was struck by an eastbound Milwaukee freight train on a crossing 100 yards from the Aspinwall Depot.
The dead are Lowell William Weller, 17, and Glen Harvey Weller, 19.
The driver of the truck, George Justice, of Botna, was injured. He was taken to a hospital in Manning, four miles east of here, but, was released after X-rays showed he was not hurt seriously.
Witness
E.D. Brady, station agent here, said he was looking out of the depot window when the fast freight struck the truck as it pulled onto the crossing.
Brady said the truck was loaded with baled hay. The Weller brothers and Justice were riding in the truck cab, he said.
Derailment
One car of the freight train was derailed in the accident and the engine was damaged.
Brady said section workers helped get the derailed boxcar back on the tracks and the train went on.
The Weller brothers were sons of Ed Weller, farmer, four miles northeast of here.

Glen & Lowell Weller are buried in the Manning City Cemetery.
