— Friends here have received further particulars of the terrible auto accident at Ventura, Calif., Sept. 2, in which Mrs. Gus Linscheid of Los Angeles was instantly killed and three others in the car were critically injured. Her husband and 12 year old son Wayne remained in serious condition for two weeks, while Arvilla Gieger [sic Geiger], a church worker whose home is at Pandora, Ohio, was still unconscious at the last report. All are patients in a Ventura hospital. Funeral services for Mrs. Linscheid were held at the Emmanuel Mennonite church in Los Angeles on Sept. 7. The least injured was Dorothy Schroeder, a returned missionary, who was also a passenger in the car. The head-on collision happened at about six o’clock in the morning as Mr. and Mrs. Linscheid and son and the Misses Geiger and Schroeder were on the way to attend the Homebuilders Retreat at Cambria Pines.
