OBITUARY Midland Daily News Feb 26 1971 "Edenville Man Killed: Car Rolls Over on US-10" with photo (shown here)
Jerome K. Abbe, Jr., 21, of West River Road, Edenville Township, was killed and his companion, James S. Waskevich, 21, of the same address, was injured when Waskevich lost control of the car on US-10 one-tenth of a mile east of the M-30 exit ramp near Sanford Thursday afternoon.
Abbe's death marked the first 1971 traffic fatality in Midland County. The city of Midland had previously recorded three traffic deaths to date this year.
Abbe was pronounced dead on arrival at Midland Hospital. Sheriff's officials, who are continuing an investigation of the crash, said it happened about 3:10 p.m. Waskevich was eastbound on the expressway and was passing a Consumers Power Company truck, deputies were advised. The car went into the median and rolled over onto the inside lane of the westbound roadway. Mr. Abbe and Waskevich recently moved to a trailer home in Edenville Township.
Mr. Abbe was born Nov. 24, 1949 in Midland, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome K. Abbe, Sr. of 3808 Wackerly Road. He attended Midland public schools. He was employed as a foreman for the Masonry Construction Company in Midland.
