CLAY CITY, JULY 20. - - This morning all that remained of the James family living five miles west of here, was found in the ruins of their home which was evidently burned during the night. The family consisted of husband, wife, daught and grandchild. It is thought either the son or the father murdered the family, set fire to the house and then committed suicide. The son was addicted to the use of whiskey and had threatened to kill the family, and the father was subject to spells of insanity.

DEAF MAN KILLED BY PENNSY TRAIN

Reno Arrowsmith, Detroit, Victim; Mute Companion Jumps to Safety.

-- Reno Arrowsmith, 35, deaf and mute, who resided in Detroit, was killed about 8:30 Thursday morning when struck by Pennsylvania passenger train No. 537 while he was walking with another man who could not hear or speak, Clayton Mills, also of Detroit, near Fisher Station.

tanley Albert Dies Attending Golf Matches

Stanley Albert, 62 of Farmer City, founder and executive vice president of Pre-Fab Transit Co., Inc., died in St. Louis Saturday while attending the Ryder Cup golf matches.

Mr. Albert was pronounced dead on arrival at St. John's Mercy Hospital, St. Louis at 5 p.m., minutes after he was felled by an apparent heart attack at the Old Warson Country Club.

His body will be taken to the Stensel Funeral Home in Farmer City.

Mr. Albert founded the business in Detroit in 1945 when he noticed that the building boom after World War II had increased the need for prefabricated housing and the housing components needed transportation. Two years later he formed a partnership with Roy Roberson and the business was moved to Farmer City.

Mr. Albert also made headlines in 1966 as the instigator of a suit demanding a one-man, one-vote reapportionment of county boards of supervisors.

The business he started now has some 50 terminals, handling shipments for most of the major manufacturers in the building industry.

He leaves his wife, Dolly, who was with him at the tournament, and a daughter, Mrs. Thomas (Diana) Roberts, who is an administrative vice president of the Pre-Fab firm.

Funeral arrangements are incomplete.

The Decatur Daily Review Decatur, Illinois, Sun Page 13

Visitation will be 7-9 tonight. Memorials may be made to the Heart Fund.

Mr. Albert was executive vice-president and secretary-treasurer of Pre-Fab Transit Co. in Farmer City.

He was born May 7, 1909, at Mansfield, a son of George D. and Lilla Davidson Albert. He married Dolly Rodgers July 20, 1929, in Pontiac, Mich.

Surviving are his wife and a daughter, Mrs. Diane Roberts, Farmer City. He was preceded in death by a brother.
