- [S927] Obituary.
Ricer, Clarence Ricer 2nd obitAirplane Crash Causes Death of Local MenSpirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, October 30, 1929 Lester Patton and Clarence Ricer, Woodsfield young men, were killed, and pilot Wally Matz, also of, Woodsfield, was badly injured in a crash of the Matz biplane at the Matz airport between Malaga and Jerusalem, about 4:00 o?clock Sunday evening. The fatal crash followed an extended flight over Belmont and Monroe counties, and the plane was nearing the landing field preparatory to landing, and was about four hundred feet up when the controls locked according to Pilot Matz, throwing the craft into a tailspin. He used every effort to right the plane but the low altitude did not permit, the crash occurring in the highway adjoining the landing field. The plane was completely demolished, Patton and Ricer occupying the passenger seats, were frightfully mangled in the wreckage. Matz almost had a leg severed above the ankle, and was painfully cut about the face and otherwise injured. He was rushed to the Ohio Valley General Hospital and his injuries cared for. It was at first thought that he had received internal injury, but his condition today is satisfactory considering the seriousness of the injuries. Following the crash, onlookers, that usually gather at the Matz airport each Sunday, rushed to the rescue and the bodies of the dead men were removed from the debris with much difficulty. Lester Patton, aged about 31, leaves a wife and two small children. His mother, Mrs. W.W. Patton, also four brothers, Edward and Robert, of Woodsfield; Urban of Oklahoma, and Charles of Gallipolis, also survive. He was an expert auto mechanic, and has been employed at the McComas Garage for several years, and his friends are numbered by his acquaintances. Clarence Ricer, aged about 26 and single, is survived by his father, John Ricer; also three sisters, Mrs. John Bishop and Miss Lillie Ricer, of Woodsfield, and Mrs. Freda Donnelly, of Wheeling. His many friends are deeply grieved in his death. This is the first fatal aircraft accident occurring in Monroe county and this section was inexpressibly shocked, and people gathered at the scene of the crash by the hundreds shortly after it happened. Coroner C.J. Feist, of Clarington was notified and conducted an investigation. Matz had studied aviation in St. Louis and later in Glendale, W.Va., and was rapidly becoming a capable pilot. He purchased his plane, a Waco 8, with dual control, from ?Scotty? at Marietta, Ohio and during the past six months has made flights almost daily, when weather conditions permitted. Matz had recently been taking passengers and on this trip had taken Lester Patton and Clarence ?Buzz? Ricer into the air. They had flown over Woodsfield and other sections of this vicinity and were enroute to the field, and at a height of approximately 800 feet the plane began to swerve menacingly. It wavered to an altitude of about 400 feet and went into a tailspin following a wing-over, and crashed into telephone wires and into a bank at the side of the road. This was about 3:45 o?clock. Matz had presence of mind to switch off the magnets which may have prevented the plane from catching fire. Funeral services for Lester Patton will be held on Thursday afternoon, in charge of Evangelist J.V.A. Traylor, who will be assisted by Rev. J. Fleming Cash of the Methodist Church. Services at the home on east Church-st. at 2:00 o?clock will be followed by final obsequies at the Church of Christ. The K. of P. Lodge will attend in a body and participate in the services. Interment in Oak Lawn Cemetery. Funeral services for Clarence Ricer were held this Wednesday morning at 9:30 o?clock at St. Sylvester?s Church, and were conducted by Rev. J.G. Mehler. Interment in Oak Lawn Cemetery
