COOK, Hearter Alvey

A verdict of accidental death was issued by a coroner's jury in Romney, W.Va., this morning in the case of a 38-year-old Cumberland Celanese worker who was killed in an auto wreck near Slanesville, W.Va., last night. The victim, Hearter Alvey Cook, 20 Roberts Street, Cumberland, died shortly after the accident, as the result of a crushed chest and a broken neck, according to Andrew Russell, acting Hampshire county coroner. According to Russell, Cook was killed when the car he was driving crashed after failing to negotiate an icy curve on West Virginia Route 45, five miles north of Slanesville and 12 miles southeast of Paw Paw, W. Va., about 8:15 p.m. He was alone in the car at the time of the accident. The accident occurred, authorities said, as the local man, apparently traveling at an excessive speed, failed to negotiate a sharp curve which still contained patches of ice. Cook was thrown free, Justice Russell said, as the heavy car used to carry Celanese riders jumped the bank, then hurtled end over end before it was demolished when it struck a tree. The car fell back, almost coming to rest on Cook, who died a few minutes after William and Lyle Wend arrived on the scene, as the wheels of the upturned vehicle were still turning. Sheriff Heber Parsons and State Trooper F. H. Tribett assisted in the investigation of the accident. Mr. Cook, a Celanese engineer, is survived by his widow, Mrs. Goldie F. Williams Cook; a daughter, Ruby, who is employed in Washington; a sister, Miss Blanche Cook, Roberts Street, and two brothers, Charles and Luther Cook, who live in Mineral county, West Virginia. The body will remain in the Hafer Funeral Home until Friday at 2 p.m. when funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Kenneth Harrington, pastor of the Pentecostal Holiness Church. Interment will be the Fort Ashby Cemetery.
