Killed in a car crash with his brother, Walter L. Tesh. Their other brother Tom Tesh was also in the car with them but not injured. A train hit their car on the way home from work. Witnesses say the Tesh boys did not hear the train blow his whistle. They drove right in front of the train. Another passenger was also killed, a colored man by the name of Shirley Summers. They were giving him a ride home. They all worked for the Mengus Box Company.

Double Funeral Was Held Sunday Morning
The funeral services over the remains of Ellis A. Tesh and Walter L. Tesh, who were killed Friday afternoon when an auto in which they were riding was struck at the Piedmont Park crossing, were held yesterday morning.

The floral tributes were unusually beautiful and numerous.
