  Notes	(1) Elizabeth Ann Grubb: NOTES: AULT Funeral servives for Norman W. "Tiny" Ault, 31, 314 Cherry Street, Argos, will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday in the Grossman Funeral Home, Argos, by the Rev. Harry Claybaugh of Argos, a retired minister. Interment will be in the Culver Masonic Cemetery. Friends will be received in the funeral home after 7 o'clock tonight. Ault was killed in a truck accident one mile north of Alexandria early Thursday morning when the vehicle crashed through a construction barricade on Indiana highway 9. The Madison county coroner said Ault was crushed between the the trailer and bridge abutment and died instantly. Alexandria fireman were called to the scene when the cab of the semi burst into flames. They fought the blaze for Two hours before they could remove the body. He was born June 15, 1920, in Culver to Herman and Rose Ann Cromley Ault. Coming from Culver he had resided in Argos several years. Surviving with the widow, the former Lucille Fay Slater, are five children, Frederic Allen and Rosemary Fay, both at home, and Danny, John and Roberta, all of Plymouth; his mother, Mrs. Rose Ault of Argos; four. . . . (The article ends here) Compiler's note: The obituary states that he was born June 15, 1920, but the cemetery record shows the years of his life as "1929-1961." Calculation, using the age (31) and date of death (March 1961) would make the cemetery inscription the correct one. "Tiny" was the only known male child born to Herman and Rose Ault, so the missing part of the obit. was probably sisters: Erma Dean Hosimer, Pauline Russell, Olive McVey and Margaret Hittle. A fifth sister, Anna Mae Wilfert died in 1948. * * * March, 1996: Compiler received obituaries for Christina L. AULT, a daughter of Tiny's son, John, from Wilma FOLTZ. One of these from The "Rochester Sentinel" names her paternal grandmother "Corriene MECHLING." Considering Tiny's age at the time he married Fay SLATER, compiler began to suspect there had been an earlier marriage. From his obituary, the information that his children all resided in Plymouth at the time of his death made this more evident. Compiler has assumed that Tiny was first married to Corriene (maiden name unknown), and this couple had three children. Later, Tiny married Fay SLATER and Corriene married a Mr. MECHLING.
