R. J. (Ralph Joseph) Myers and Gene Thompson of Warren killed in car accident-1963:
Anderson Herald-April 21, 1963-"Headon takes 3 lives near Lynn" (in Randolph
County)
Three persons were killed in a headon crash in Randolph County yesterday, bringing to 4
the number of highway deaths this weekend and raising Indiana's 1963 toll to at least
310 as compared with 284 a year ago.
Killed on US 27 just north of Lynn were Gene Thompson, 37, Warren; Ralph J. Myers, 30,
Warren; and William Boggs, 20, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Three others were critically injured in the smashup which occurred 11:00 AM yesterday on a
straight stretch of the highway. They were Thompson's widow, Joan, 33; Myers'
widow, Cynthia, 30; and James C. Boggs, Middletown, Ohio, brother of the Boggs fatally
injured. The 3 were admitted to Randolph County Hospital.
State Police said the car driven by James Boggs apparently crossed over the centerline
into the path of the auto driven by Thompson.
