Leibfarth Source: Ashland Times Gazette, Ashland, Ohio; 1 Nov 1950 LEIBFARTHS FATALLY INJURED IN ACCIDENT SOUTH OF WEST BRANCH Two Ashland men on their way to a hunting trip in northern Michigan met death immediately following an automobile accident one-fourth mile south of West Branch, Mich., at 12:48 p.m. yesterday. H. A. Leibfarth, 49, prominent jeweler and businessman in Ashland for 16 years, and his son, Hubert T., 23, were traveling north on Route 76, approximately 300 miles from home. Their destination was the family lodge near Goulais River, just off Goulais Bay, 35 miles north of Saulte Ste. Marie. The accident occurred after their car, which was being driven by young Leibfarth, moved off the highway on the right shoulder and skidded on the berm. In an attempt to pull the car back onto the highway, the Ashland youth made a sharp left turn. Re-entering the highway, he was unable to keep the vehicle in the right lane and struck a County Highway truck which was traveling south on Route 76. The Leibfarth car caught fire after the collision and was totally demolished. A passenger in another car, which had been following the two Ashland men along the highway, stopped at the scene of the accident and pulled the youth and his father from the burning vehicle. H.A. Leibarth died sometime during the accident, and his son passed away moments after he was pulled from the flames. Both suffered fatal head injuries. The driver of the County Highway truck was William J. Goucher of Selkirk, near West Branch, who suffered chest, head and hip injuries and is being treated at a West Branch hospital. A passenger in the truck, Floyd Pray of West Branch, remains in critical condition in the West Branch General hospital. Michigan State Police from the West Branch post arrived at the scene of the accident shortly after it occurred. West Branch is located in Gemaw county, Michigan. The Leibfarths' Goulais-River lodge is approximately 550 miles from Ashland. Mr. Leibfarth resided at 47 Samaritan avenue. He was born October 9, 1901 in Lewisville, Ohio, the son of Christopher and Louise Matz Leibfarth and had been proprietor of the Leibfarth Jewelry store here for the past 16 years. He was married June 25, 1924 to Reah Turner, who is his only survivor. He was a member of the Methodist church, Ashland Lodge 151, F. and A.M. Scioto Consistery, Al Koran Shrine in Cleveland and the Ashland Shrine club. Hubert T. Leibfarth was also a member of the First Methodist church, Ashland Lodge 151, F. and A.M. Scioto Consistery, Al Koran Shrine of Cleveland and the Ashland Shrine club and also of the American Legion. He was born in Woodsfield, Ohio January 23, 1927, son of Hubert A. and Reah Turner Leibfarth, being 23 years of age. He was associated with his father in the jewelry business. His only survivors are his mother and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W.F. Turner of West Salem. Hubert was a graduate of Ashland high school and of Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla. He served for 19 months in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Rites Thursday Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Thursday at the Denbow-Bear Funeral Home with Rev. C.S. Applegath, their pastor, in charge. Burial will be made in Ashland cemetery, where Ashland Lodge 151 will conduct Masonic services.
