NW-Mailing-List Digest, Vol 250, Issue 30

Mon Apr 28 21:35:03 EDT 2025

That some of the worst news would could get at the archives. Charlie was always willing to help and knew so much about the archives. He has helped me so much over the years in working at the archives, he will be missed and leave a big empty spot there. I don't know what else to say, I'm not good at this.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no way to improve this.

Longtime volunteers Charlie Schlotthober and his wife Ellen were killed in a car crash yesterday afternoon in Bedford County. Apparently, a truck turned across in front of them, failing to yield the right of way. Both were wearing seatbelts and died at the scene.

Those of you who didn?t know them, this is very sad. Charlie and Ellen were both very fine folks. Charlie was a long-time archives volunteer and came in every Thursday. His knowledge of the system and how to find things and his understanding of what is out there are unassailable and irreplaceable. Charlie is the one responsible for us having the collection of N&W Mechanical Drawings.

I?ve been totally punched in the gut with this news, and I really cannot really post more at this point. But Charlie and Ellen were good friends of mine.

No other details are available at present. More will be posted as time permits.

Horrible! Senseless! Tragic!
Charlie & Ellen were very special people. I'm privileged to have known them for fifty plus years.?

Absolutely horrible news. He was a tremendous fellow, and the world is going to be a darker place without them both. My sincerest condolences to Jessica and all the family. Absolutely heartbreaking.
