Roy Victor Runk, Cashtown, 49-year-old father of 12 children, was fatally injured this morning at 5 o'clock when his car left the road and overturned three miles west of here along the Lincoln Highway. Dr. C. G. Crist, Adams County coroner, said the death was caused by a fractured skull, a broken neck and internal injuries.

Hess out of East Berlin. A native of York County, he was born April 21, 1909, a son of Wesley and Cora Shue Runk. He was a member of Dub's Lutheran Church, Hanover R.D. Survivors include his widow, the former Dolores Bolin, and twelve children: Victor Runk, East Berlin R.D. 1; Mrs. Barbara Myers, Dillsburg; Kenneth Runk, at home; Mrs. Phyllis Watson, Hanover R.D. 4, and Shirley, Ronald, Gene, Donna, Gary, Linda, Gerald and Larry Runk, all at home.
