In the telephone message Mrs. Thrush said she found her husband in the garage shortly after 9:30 o’clock. Mr. Thrush had left the engine of his car running while he closed the doors to the
garage. The carburetor on the car had been changed yesterday by Mr. Thrush so that the supply of gasoline was increased for winter driving. The supply of gasoline was too rich and in the small garage, Mr. Thrush was overcome by the deadly carbon monoxide gas fumes before he could reach the door leading into the back yard of the Thrush home. Thrush had tried valiently to make the door leading to the yard but was overcome just a few feet before he had reached the door. Mrs. Thrush noticed the lights of her husband’s car burning in the garage when she happened to look out through the back window of their home. When she went to investigate she found her husband unconscious. She dragged him out of the garage and then called for help. Doctors were summoned but were unsuccessful in their attempts to revive Thrush. It is thought he had been in the garage only a few minutes before he was found by his wife. Harold Thrush was born in this city on August 8, 1893 the son of Napoleon and Mary THRUSH. He was educated in the public schools of Rochester and after completing his schooling learned the butcher trade which profession he followed up until his death.
