Obituary of Henry & Alice Vauck - Killed 11 Nov 1957 at Sutton Downtown RR Crossing

 The automatic railroad crossing guards in the middle of downtown Sutton were installed after this accident.

Henry Vauck served as Clay County Judge for several years. His brother in law, Roy Oakley served as County Clerk for 33 years. Both men had lost a leg in childhood accidents, both turning those losses into the opportunity to receive an education, teach in rural schools, and serve as county officials. 

Henry and Alice Vauck were highly valued members of the Sutton community and their tragic loss that afternoon hit the town of Sutton hard.
