I have been unable to find information on Metro Ruschak. He died on 8 DEC 1926 in Auburn NY. Supposedly in a shop accident at International Harvester Company. He is buried in St Joseph's Cemetery. I would like to have the newspaper article on the accident, the obituary, and the funeral notice. If someone could look it up, I'd very much appreciate it.

I found the following under the spelling "Rushak" but couldn't find anything else.

"Funeral of Accident Victim. The funeral of Metro Rushak, who was killed in The International Harvester Company's plant Wednesday afternoon, was held from his late home, 117 North Division Street, at 9 o'clock this morning, with services at Sts. Peter and Paul's Church at 9:30, and was very largely attended, the house being crowded to overflowing and the church filled. The services were conducted by Rev. J. Strotsky, pastor. There were a large number of beautiful floral tributes from sympathizing friends. Nearly the entire membership of the Society of St. Nicholas, of which the deceased was a member, attended the funeral in a body, acting as an escort from the house to the church and thence to the corner of Wall and State Streets. The remains were interred in St. Joseph's Cemetery where the committal service was read by Rev. J. Strotzky. The bearers were six members of the St. Nicholas' Society."
