Burial will be made in Cambridge, O. Mrs Fickell was critically injured Thursday at 9:30 am in a two car collision near Springfield.. Her death followed the arrival of her husband, Kenneth C, a driver for The All American Bus Lines, Inc who came from Columbus by police cruiser and private automobile to be at his wife's bedside. Mrs Fickell died as City Hospital attaches were attemptin to find a blood donor whose type of blood would match that of the injured woman for a transfusion. Several Wittenberg College students and drivers of The Kenosha Auto Transport Co had volunteered to donate blood but their types failed to match. Hospital attaches then located a professional donor with the correct type but as the donor arrived at the hospital, Mrs Fickell died. Fickell in his race to reach his wife was transported from Columbus to near West Jefferson in a Columbus police cruiser. He was met there by an official of his company who brought him to the local hospital. The driver, who was on a run between Pittsburg, PA, and Springfield when his wife was injured, was not notified of the accident until he reached Columbus. Mrs Fickell sustained fractures of the spine, pelvis, and right ribs in the accident which occurred about nine miles east of Springfield on Route 40. Two other persons also were injured. They were: Miss Bernadine GILCHER, 23, of 220 W Columbia St, driver of the machine in which Mrs Fickell was a passenger, and Orville SMITH, 52, of Springfield, Route 5, operator of the other car. Miss Gilcher suffered rib fractures. Smith sustained facial lacerations. State patrolmen reported the accident occurred when the car driven by Miss Gilcher skidded into the path of Smiths machine. Mrs Fickell was born in Cambridge, O, July 28, 1914. She had lived in Springfield since September. Besides her husband, Mrs Fickell is survived by her parents, Mr and Mrs John SMITH Sr of Cambridge, three sisters, Miss Victorine SMITH of Cambridge, Miss Mary SMITH of Chicago, IL, and Miss Magdalene SMITH, a nurse in a Catholic hospital in Zanesville, and five brothers, John Jr, Peter and Andrew, all of Cambridge, Joe, a student at Bowling Green University, Bowling Green, O, and Frank of Chicago.
