FULTON COUNTY INDIANA OBITUARIES 1942 The News-Sentinel Jean C. and Wendell C. Tombaugh

Friday, January 2, 1942 James Robert MIDDAUGH, 15, of Walnut, southeast of Argos, was killed instantly by a hit-and-run driver, Steve PARKEVICH, 26, tavern proprietor of Logansport, on U. S. 31, three miles south of Argos, at 4:30 o'clock last night. The youth died from a fractured skull and a broken right leg soon after being struck. Middaugh was riding a bicycle on the highway at the time of the mishap. Parkevich was arrested in Logansport after he appeared at the Logan police station and stated that he wanted to report a mishap, in which a car had struck him and not stopped. Logansport police had heard radio reports of the Argos accident and suspected that Parkevich might be involved. Parkevich was badly shocked when he heard of the boy's death and was taken to Plymouth to await hearing. James Robert, son of Henry and Edna MIDDAUGH, was born in Tippecanoe township, Marshall county, in 1926. He was a freshman in Argos high school and a member of the Boy Scouts. Survivors are the parents; one brother, Raymond [MIDDAUGH], Argos; and three sisters, Mrs. Helen BRIGGS, Plymouth; Pauline May MIDDAUGH and Mary Louise MIDDAUGH, both at home. The body has been taken to the Grossman funeral home in Argos. Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon, two o'clock in Argos. Rev. Morris BERRY, of Tippecanoe, will officiate and burial will be made in the Maple Grove cemetery, near Argos.
