From the May 24, 1962 edition of The Wayne Herald:
Wayne Resident Receives Award
Harold Erdmann received a life saving award from the Wayne Volunteer Department at their meeting last week, recognizing his efforts that saved his daughter's life through mouth to mouth resuscitation.
The event occurred in February, when his daughter, Linda, was overcome with furnace fumes and he revived her through resuscitation method learned while attending Junior Fire Patrol meetings with his son, Bryan.
