The second of twin brothers, both victims of automobiles, was killed in Delaware County, early Sunday.
Sherman H. (General) Satterfield, 70, 2710 South Walnut St., well-known carpenter and building contractor, was killed instantly when the roadster in which he was riding with a grandson, crashed head-on into a truck on State Road 67, six miles north of Muncie.
A twin brother, John S. Satterfield, 64, was killed October 29, 1929, when his automobile was struck by a Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad passenger train at the Granville Ave. crossing. Like his brother, Mr. Satterfield was a carpenter.
The death of Sherman Satterfield was the eighth due to automobiles in Delaware County.
The grandson, James E. Satterfield, 19, of the same address, driver of the passenger car, suffered a fracture of the pelvis and face lacerations that may result in the loss of an eye. At Ball Memorial Hospital it was reported Monday noon he had not yet regained consciousness.
William White, of Detroit, driver of the truck was not hurt, but his wife, Clara, 31, suffered lacerations about the legs in jumping from the cab after the crash. She was given emergency treatment in Ball Hospital.
White told police he was traveling northeast when he noted the approaching roadster, which was traveling on the wrong side of the road. He swerved to the other side to avoid a collision, he said, but the driver of the roadster did likewise. The truckman attempted to go into the ditch and Satterfield cut in front of him, according to White's account.
Both vehicles left the road and the heavy truck crushed the smaller car. Mr. Satterfield sufferred fractures of the skull and jaw, crushing injuries to the chest and fractures of both legs. He was taken to the hospital in the city ambulance while his son was removed in the Garland ambulance from Albany.
Funeral services will be conducted Tuesday at 2 p.m. at Madison Street M.E. Church by the reverend J.B. Sparling and the Reverend D.A.J.Brown. Burial will be in Mt. Tabor Cemetery. Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. Virgil D. Reeves, with whom he lived; two grandchildren, Sherman E. Satterfield and Mrs. Dorothy Lee Brown, of Colon, Mich.; four brothers, Howard, Sylvester, Marshall and J.R. Satterfield, and two sisters, Mrs. Nancy Carpenter and Mrs. Mary Shear, all of Delaware County.
Friends may call at the home of the daughter Monday after 4 p.m. Mr. Satterfield came here from Fairmount, W.Va. 12 years ago after the death of his wfie and had lived with his daughter since that time. He was a member of Madison Street M.E. Church and the Masonic Lodge at Fairmount.
