"TRAIN STRIKES CAR; TWO AUTOISTS DIE -- Peter Feil and Miss Clare Coy Meet Death in Accident at Phelps, Mo. -- TWO OTHERS INJURED -- Misses Marie Harnan and Olga Ream Suffer Hurts, But W.S. Coy Jumps When Seeing Danger and Escapes Unhurt. -- HAMBURG, Ia., July 22 -- Special: Peter Fell and Miss Clara Coy, members of an auto party, en route from Farragut, Ia., to Langdon, Mo., died this afternoon as the result of injuries they received when the machine in which they were riding, was struck by a train on the Burlington railroad at Phelps, Mo.
Mr. Fell and Miss Coy were picked up in an unconscious condition and were being placed on the train, which had stopped, to take t hem to a St. Joseph hospital when the last ray of life left their bodies.
In the car with the pair were W. S. Coy, Misses Marie Harnan and Olga Ream. Coy jumped and avoided injury while the girls, unable to leave the car were seriously hurt and may not recover.
The auto party was made up of the families of Peter Fell, W.S. Coy, C.S. Palm and William Martin, all of Farragut, and was going to Langdon, Mo., to enjoy Sunday fishing.
Fell's machine was in the lead when the terrible accident occurred. The car had scarcely reached the railroad track before the Burlington train was upon it. W.S. Coy, who jumped with his life, is in a very nervous condition and almost wild over the death of his daughter. Physicians were called from Phelps to administer to the injured, but their assistance was unable to save Feil and the Coy girl.
Three other autos followed the Fell machine and were able to stop just in time to avoid being caught in the smashup. The bodies of the dead are being cared for here and probably will be shipped to Farragut tomorrow."--23 Jul 1911, The Des Moines (IA) Register.
