| Wickenburg Sun (Wickenburg, Arizona) Friday, April 12, 1945, p. 1 Joe Rhorer Dies In Rail Accident A shock to this community, where he lived for several years, was the accidental death of Joe Rhorer (sic: Rohrer) of Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Rhorer of Wickenburg. Employed as a brakeman on the Santa Fe, the younger Rhorer met his death Monday evening in the railroad yards at Flagstaff when he was crushed between two freight cars. He died two hours later, at 9 o'clock, in the Flagstaff hospital where he was rushed following the accident. The parents here were notified immediately and were taken to Williams early Tuesday morning by R. E. Stone, a neighbor and close friend. Funeral arrangements had not been completed at the time of going to press. Mr. Rhorer is survived by his widow and a daughter, Jodeen. The family left here in 1932. While a resident of Wickenburg, Mr. Rhorer was employed by the Wickenburg Ice Company. See Also: Find A Grave |
