The blocked crossing
I want to thank Dr. Runser, Dr. Fisk, Dr. Koberstein, doctors and nurses in the emergency squad at Elyria Memorial Hospital for saving my life and for the wonderful care I got in intensive care. I want to thank the Ridgeville Ambulance Service. They did everything Godly possible. What can they do when a train is blocking the traffic on Rt. 20 by the Bendix Westinghouse Automotive Ari Brake Co.? They can't turn around because Maddock and Rt. 76 crossing are probably blocked by trains. The ambulance arrived at my home in two minutes, but it arrived at the hospital over ten minutes late. I had no pulse. I had an asthma attack, but I ended up with heart damage, blood clots, fractured ribs which were caused from the respirator that gave me back my breath. But who do I thank for the train? There will be others that won't make it. Maybe a young father with small children who will pay with his life. Who will they than?
I thank God for my life. Can't something be done about those trains before it is too late?

We want to express our heartfelt thanks to all who gave us assistance and comfort during the loss of our dear wife and mother. The flowers and expressions of sympathy meant much to us. The gifts of food helped to sustain us during the time of bereavement. The thoughts that were spoken to us by friends and by Rev. James Shaneyfelt gave us encouragement for the moment and for the days ahead. The care of Drs. Runser, Fisk and Koberstein and all the staff of the sixth floor at Elyria Memorial Hospital was the finest and the kindness and help fo the boger Funeral Home was also deeply appreciated. Words cannot say all that we want them to say to you, but we are most grateful for everything. Melvin Parks and FamilyFrom the Chronicle Telegram date September 14, 1971 at Elyria, Ohio
