Detroit Free Press , September 23, 1953 I've detailed dozens of accidents concerning cars and trains in the vicinity of Eloise and since Nankin was the center it only makes sense that pattern wasn't confined to the hospital. Blanchford Patterson and his son Samuel were hit and dragged 100 feet by a train at the Hix Road crossing. They were treated and released from WCGH with minor injuries. The trained was engineered by Harry Huebner of Plymouth.
