Elementary School Mourns Loss of Longtime Custodian Sunday
There will be no school at St. Marys Elementary School Wednesday as students and staff pay their respects to co-worker Marvin E. Bills.
Bills, 40, of Bryan Drive, St. Marys, was killed in a single-vehicle accident Sunday evening. He was a longtime custodian at the school.

"We are doing pretty good but this is not easy for us," SMES principal Thomas Hardbarger said.

Bills' funeral will be held at the school at 1 p .m. Wednesday. Calling hours will be from noon to 1 p.m.

Classes will be in session at the county's other schools Wednesday.

Hardbarger said students and staff are dealing with the loss "as best they can." He said the school has made counselors available to help students and staff through the, grieving process. . . .

"Marvin touched a lot people here;" Hardbarger said. "When you you needed anything you called for Marvin."

Bills was killed instantly when the pickup truck he was driving was struck by a falling tree at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday.

The accident occurred on the northern side of Emerick Hill, just south of the St, Marys' city limits. Bills was traveling north toward St. Marys.

Deputy Steve McFarland, the investigating officer for the Pleasants County 51- Tiffs Department, said the large tree fell roots and all from the nearby hillside. He said it crushed the cab of Bills' 2001 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck, killing Bills instantly.

Bills was pronounced dead at the scene by Pleasants County coroner Harvey Hatfield. Bills' body was transported from the accident site to Ruttercutter-Ingram Funeral Home in St Marys.

Pleasants County Sheriff Larry Barnhart said heavy rain over the weekend might have contributed to the accident "We have had a lot of rain lately and possibly those rains softened the ground around the tree causing it to fall," Barnhart said. "We have rocks and debris hitting vehicles on this area of Route 2 at least 2-3 times a year."

Other vehicles were traveling in the area at the time of the accident The drivers of those vehicles were not injured and their vehicles escaped damage.

In addition to McFarland, the accident was also investigated by Cpl. Terry Nichols of the West Virginia State Police.

The St. Marys and Belmont fire departments were dispatched to the scene to divert traffic while Route 2 was closed. The Pleasants County Emergency Squad also responded to the emergency call.

Hardbarger said Monday and Tuesday were difficult days at his school. "We are getting through it the best we can," he said. "All you can do at a time like this is pull together."
