Bikes Collide On Tile Plant Road, 2 Motorcyclists Killed in New Lex
By Deron Mikal, TR Staff Reporter
Two New Lexington youths were killed about 3:15 p.m. Tuesday when their motorcycles collided on Tile Plant road (Perry County Road 42) a half mile from the entrance to Ludowici-Celadon Tile Plant. Dead are Thomas David Newlon, 15, son of Roger and Nancy Hoops Newlon of 508 Eastern avenue, New Lexington; and Richard T. Robinson, 19, of 414 Mill street, New Lexington. Witnesses said a group of six cyclists were riding along a mile stretch of Tile Plant road that lies at the west edge of the corporation limit and runs to the tile plant.
According to eye-witnesses at the scene, Newlon had slowed his bike down to turn around in the road. Robinson, however, did not notice the maneuver and struck a hump in the road, sending his motorcycle several feet into the air then on top of the Newlon two-wheeler.
Other riders with the pair were Steve Stepp, 15, John Higgen, 16, Dave Fleming, 16 and an unidentified fourth person. They were each on motorcycles following the victims, one person at the scene said. One of the boys alerted Delbert Shiplett of Maple Heights of the accident.

Robinson was riding a motorcycle owned by Mike Packett of New Lexington. Newlon had just gotten his bike about a month ago, it was reported. The Plant road runs between St. Aloysius Academy and the Fairgrounds and the stretch of road on which the youths were riding carries mostly traffic from tile plant employees. The mile-stretch runs between the last house on the road owned by Homer Seidel and the tile plant.

By Mrs. M. Dusenbury
In memory of James M. Noon
To many another friend has entered that mysterious realm called Death. When we say friend it implies one of the finest characteristics in mortals. James M. Noon passed out of this life Wednesday, April 25, 1934. The funeral took place on Friday morning at 8:30 o’clock from Holy Name Church, where a Requiem High Mass was celebrated for the happy repose of his soul. He was buried in Forest Hills Cemetery by the McNamara Company. Known to all as “Jim” Noon, he will be remembered as one of the genial and loyal residents of Shawnee, Ohio, of more then a decade ago. Always courteous and liberal – such his friends will remember him, as long as their memory lasts. He was a true friend to the ones with whom he mingled and was especially interested in Shawnee people. In his home city, he loved to associate with those from Perry County. In all their gatherings he will be missed. Even after being stricken with illness, he found pleasure and peace in them. The Tecumseh Club of Columbus had in him an enthusiastic admirer. We cannot refrain from mentioning how he enjoyed the big party held at this house last Christmas. Too ill to take any part, he wanted the “Club” in his home. To his widow Ella Gilbert Noon, his sisters, Mrs. Mary Tracy and Mrs. Charles P. Elder the Tecumseh Club extends its sympathy. After our friends and those dear to us have been taken from our sight, the remembrance of them becomes more the precious. The passing of one, always leaves its impressions. Thus, it behooves us to live that we may strew the beauties of life along the years and garner all of the good from those who go ahead on that inevitable, silent journey.
