  	The Scio Tribune October 31, 1957 Life of Howard Trollinger Snuffed Out on Wednesday Tragedy struck again in the Trollinger family in this community, this week, taking the life of Howard Trollinger, nearly 43 years of age. He was critically injured and his wife also injured in an auto accident earlier this year, from which he was not fully recovered. He had, however been able to get about and do light tasks recently. Wednesday afternoon he had gone out to disconnect irrigation equipment from the pump along Smallman Creek, near their home, and he failed to return. Though he was searched for, it was not until 7:00 p.m. that his submerged body was found in the creek, it having been washed under a cove along the bank. It was believed he slipped, while working around the pump, and had fallen over the bank, striking his head as his body struck in the stream. A deep gash was made on a temple. Autopsy had not been completed at the time this is written. A brother in law, Odell Young last saw him about 2:00 p.m. It was Mr. Young and a neighbor, Fred Bishop, who located his body last evening. His body was face down in the creek in about 18 inches of water. Numerous tragedies have occurred in the last two years in the families of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Trollinger and that of his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. James Trollinger, and of a sister of Howard, and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Odell Young. A two year old daughter of the Howard Trollingers, Denise, was crushed by a truck; their barn and contents lost by fire; a son, Calvin suffered a broken hip in a fall, requiring two surgical operations; a nephew, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Young choked to death while eating; the father, James Trollinger was killed as his tractor turned over backwards and pinned his body under water in the same Smallman Creek along the senior Trollingers' farm upstream; and Howard Trollinger and wife, Norene suffered such extensive injuries in the auto accident many months ago. The Howard Trollingers daughter, Sharon Lee suffered major burns in a fire 16 years ago, from which she has since borne scars. Howard Trollinger was born Nov. 13, 1914 at Scio and had spent his lifetime here. At the time of his death he was 42 years 11 months and 17 days of age. Surviving are his wife, Norene; three children, Sharon Lee, 18; Calvin, 15, and Harold 7; his mother, Mrs. Ora Trollinger; and his sister, Lorene Young. Funeral services under direction of Huston Funeral Home of Lebanon, will be held Saturday at 2:p.m. at Scio Baptist Church, the pastor, Rev. Gerald Manley, officiating. Interment will be in Miller Cemetery.
