      In a bizarre motor vehicle accident, an elderly city man was killed early Friday morning along Route 28, near Springfield, W.Va. Cpl. R. L. Johnson of the Romney, W.Va. detachment of the State Police reported Charles E. "Bill" Barham, 72, of 353 Bedford Street, apparently was crushed when the door of his car was forced closed on him. According to State Police there, the mishap occurred at 7:42 a.m. at the entrance to Springfield. Barham was southbound on Route 28, Cpl. Johnson related, and pulled into the parking lot of Mr. D's Tavern for a few minutes. Barham had exited the car, apparently leaving it in gear and the door open. Cpl. Johnson reported the car began to roll, and Barham moved with the car holding onto the doorpost. The vehicle continued across the highway and into a driveway where it sideswiped another car with the left side. As it struck the car, Cpl. Johnson reported, the door was forced shut, crushing Barham. Barham’s car is reported to have rolled farther, striking the side of a house nearby. Barham was pronounced dead at the scene, Cpl. Johnson noted. He said the medical examiner’s report indicated Barham had died of a crushed chest. Born in Cumberland, he was the son of the late Everett Barham and Viola (Allen) Barham. He was a member of St. Patrick’s Church and self-employed as a painting contractor. Mr. Barham was a member of the Cumberland Fire Department for many years. Surviving are four daughters, Mrs. Charlotte A. Cunningham, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Mrs. Patricia A. Donahue, Clearville, Pa., Mrs. Dorothy L. Rockwell, and Mrs. Sandra K. Wickard, both here; one son, John E. "Jack" Barham, Bel Air, Howard County; three sisters, Mrs. Dorothy Marean, city, Mrs. Kathryn Lindsey, Indian Rock Beach, Fla., and Elinor de Grouchy, Beverly Hills, Fla.; 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. The George Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Cumberland Evening Times, Saturday, August 14, 1982
