LAVIN, Mrs. Dorothy Jane Butler
A 20-year-old Garrett County woman died late yesterday in Sacred Heart Hospital of injuries she sustained in a headon collision on the east slope of Big Savage Mountain yesterday morning. Mrs. Dorothy Jane Lavin of RD 2, Frostburg, which is just across the Allegany-Garrett county line, was admitted to the hospital about 7 a.m. yesterday in critical condition, suffering from shock, internal injuries and a severe left knee injury. In the less than 12 hours between the time of the accident and the time she died, the young woman was the subject of herculean efforts to save her life. With her liver lacerated, Mrs. Lavin was bleeding profusely and needed transfusions of A positive blood. The hospital asked the local Red Cross chapter for help. The Red Cross alerted its donors, many of whom were immediately released by their employers so they could go to the hospital to give blood. Nearly 70 pints of blood were drawn within a few hours. Meanwhile, Maryland and West Virginia State Police worked out a relay system to bring blood containers from the West Virginia University Medical Center at Morgantown. They also brought fibrinogen, a clotting agent, from Johnstown, and whole blood from the bank at Bedford. At the hospital, two surgeons and the laboratory crews worked all day without a break in a vain effort to save the young woman's life. In less than 12 hours she had been given 65 pints of blood, but the hemorrhaging would not stop. She died at 5:55 p.m. Tfc. T. J. Fiorita of the LaVale Barracks, who investigated along with Sgt. Harry Bosley, said the auto operated westbound by Mrs. Lavin was in the eastbound lane when it collided headon with a pickup truck driven by Ned Olin Wilt of RD 2, Grantsville. State Police received the call at 6:25 a.m. Mr. Wilt was admitted for treatment of lacerations of the face. He was listed as being in fair condition last evening. The Lavin car was demolished, State Police said. Mrs. Lavin had worked all night at a restaurant in LaVale and was enroute home when the accident occurred. Mrs. Lavin was born in Meyersdale and was a daughter of Alton and Velma (Baker) Butler of RD 1, Salisbury. She was the wife of Joseph Lavin. Besides her parents and husband, she is survived by a 10- month-old son, Ronnie Joe Lavin; a brother, Kenneth W. Butler, and two sisters, Darlene and Dixie Lee Butler, all of RD 1, Salisbury. She was employed at the Bruner Donut House in LaVale. The body is at the Durst Funeral Home in Frostburg where the family will receive friends today from 7 until 9 p.m. and tomorrow from 2 until 4 and 7 until 9 p.m.

LYBARGER, Mrs. Amelia Crum
Mrs. Amelia C. Lybarger, mother of General E. L. Lybarger, died at their home in Spring Mountain Thursday evening at 7 o'clock. She had been gradually sinking from the infirmities of old age and other ailments and her demise was not unexpected. About two years ago Mrs. Lybarger suffered from a hard fall and fractured a hip, since which time she has been partially crippled and was confined to her bed the last two months. The immediate cause of death was senile gangreen with resulting blood poison. The end was peaceful and she passed from earth in sweet, child-like sleep. Amelia Crum Lybarger was born at Winchester, Va. in 1813, and had reached the ripe old age of 89 years. Her father, Lewis Crum, migrated with his family to Ohio in 1820, and was one of the early settlers of Wayne county, Ohio. The ancestors of Mrs. Lybarger were among the first settlers of Virginia. Both her paternal and maternal grandfathers were Revolutionary soldiers. The entire family connection was closely affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal church, and Mrs. Lybarger herself a faithful member of that denomination for more than 70 years. She was married in 1837 to James T. Lybarger, who died in 1864. Since the war of the Rebellion she has made her home with her son, E. L. Lybarger, who is her only surviving child, where she received every care and comfort that loving hands and hearts could minister. Funeral services will be held at the residence Saturday morning at 8 o'clock, and the remains will be taken to Danville cemetery and laid to rest in the family lot there.
