Drowning Victims' Rites Set
Funeral services will be held Tuesday for a Springfield woman who became
another victim of the new Clarence J Brown Reservoir on Sunday.
Mrs Betty A Roberts Trego, 43 of
2316 Hillside Ave apparently drowned after her auto sped off the end of the
Buck Creek State Park boat ramp and sank about 125 feet from the shore, officials
said. Witnesses said the woman's 1973 model Buick showed no signs of slowing
down as it reached the ramp, according to Park manager John Schwarm.
Investigations were beign conducted Monday by the park rangers. Mrs Trego
was the fifth person to die at the reservoir this year. Authorities said
the incident occurred at 2:45 a.m. While the road leading to the ramp runs

is ahead, said Schwarm. Mrs Trego's car had no boat in tow according to the
official. Witnesses were unable to get to the car. Someone at the scene with
a CB radio contacted Ohio Highway Patrolmen, said Schwarm. Members of the

its headlights. They completed their work in an hour and a half. It was reported
that no plans were being made to conduct an autopsy on the woman;s body.

Lamar Missouri Long Time area Educator Dies-Date Unknown
by Doug Davis
Lamar lost one of her beloved educators Saturday when
Fay Evilsizer died
quietly in her sleep at her home in Iantha. She was on who dedicated her
life to education and was very successful at what she did. When retirement
came she only ended one career to begin another at a higher level. She retired
from being a teacher and began to teach teachers how to teach. She began
her teaching career in a rural school during the beginning of the Great
Depression, teaching in Iantha, then on to Lamar. She retired from Lamar
Schools in 1967, where she had been a first grade teacher and then elementary
principal; but she didn't stop teaching. What she had been doing part time,
she then turned into full time, teaching teachers at their Horace Mann Lab
School. She liked students. She liked her job. She was certainly a person
who liked children. She was witty and very impressive. You enjoyed being
with her. She was an institution. She was the kind of person you will always
remember. "Anytime you went into her office she had a remark or a funny story.
She enjoyed the people she worked with. She knew something about all her
students. She's worthy of a lot of respect."............A eulogy delivered
at her funeral Tuesday summed up her life very well..."Fay Evilsizer was
a woman whose life literally touched the lives of thousands of others."
