Local Woman Killed In Albany
Miss Marguerite McCormick Struck By Truck During Severe Storm in Capital City.
The saddest news to reach Chateaugay in a long period was that of the death of Miss Marguerite McCormick, which occurred at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening in an Albany hospital.
The death of this popular and estimable young lady was attributable to a wild storm of rain, hail, wind and lightening which swept over Albany at 4 o'clock that afternoon. Miss McCormick was fatally injured when she alighted from a bus and was run down by a truck. The heavy rain prevented her from noticing the oncoming truck, and the driver states his vision was so impaired by the storm that he did not see the young lady as she endeavored to reach the sidewalk.
Miss McCormick had been in Albany since February taking a post-graduate course at the State College for Teachers.
Mr. and Mrs. McCormick started for Albany as soon as the sad news was received, but did not reach the city until after their daughter's demise.
Miss McCormick was born at Hinchinbrook, Que., on February 28, 1904. She graduated from Chateaugay High School and Teachers Training Class in 1923, and graduated from Potsdam Normal. She taught school in Amsterdam a year and at Westbury, Long Island for two years. She resigned that position and matriculated at New York University, graduating in 1932 with a B. A. Degree. At the time of the accident she was attending State College for Teachers, working for a master's degree. Miss McCormick's ability was recognized as her advancement had been won by faithfulness and fitness.
She was regarded as one of the finest young ladies of the community, a general favorite of all, and one who commanded the highest regard. In her untimely demise there is the deepest sorrow expressed and so far as the human sympathy may be conveyed this is given in the fullest measure to the members of the grief stricken family.
She is survived by her parents, Mrs. and Mrs. Felix McCormick, one sister, Miss Florence, of Lake Placid, five brothers, Arthur, of Baltimore, Md., Clifford, of Saranac Lake, Earl, of Chateaugay, Francis and Gerald, of Hinchinbrook.
Funeral services will be held Friday morning at 9:30 from St. Patrick's church in Hinchinbrook.

MAN AND WOMAN HELD FOR CROSSING LINE ILLEGALLY
Miss Blanche Serokey, 24, attractive Czechoslovakian girl, and Thomas J. Corbin, 55, of Clinton, Mass., accused of assisting her in illegally crossing the international border near Cooks Line, north of Chateaugay, were held for Federal Court when they waived examination before U. S. Commissioner Herbert C. Genaway.
The two, who had previously called for an examination, announced a change of mind when the case was called. They were represented by Attorney George J. Moore.
After they had been ordered held for court, they were taken back to the county jail by Deputy U. S. Marshall Thomas McKenna.
Miss Serokey is charged with illegal entry within a year of a prior deportation. She stated that she was deported from Boston in April of this year and before that had resided at Clinton, Mass., for several months.
Earl McCormick, a Chateaugay youth, was released after immigration officials had charged the youth with harboring the young women in his automobile. He was discharged following a hearing before Commissioner Genaway.
Miss Serokey is alleged to have walked across the border after being brought to the Canadian side of the line in a taxi. She is then alleged to have gotten into the McCormicik car which was later halted by immigration officials. Mr. McCormick testified at his hearing that he had no knowledge that she was an alien and that all he knew of the matter was that he was to meet a woman at that point and bring her to the "cement road" north of Chateugay, receiving payment for the service.
Mr. Corbin was halted in his own automobile at almost the same time the girl was apprehended.

Before Commissioner Hubert C. Genaway at Malone on Wednesday a motion was granted for the dismissal of Earl McCormick, 24, of Chateaugay charged with having assisted an alien to enter this country illegally.

The latter two will be given a hearing Thursday. Miss Serokey on a charge of entering illegally within a year after deportation and Corbin with having aided and abetted her entry.
