Fumes From Heater Fatal To Family Of Three in California
MR. AND MRS. MENNO HORST AND 5-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER VICTIMS IN TRAGEDY
Ontario, Calif. — Funeral services took place at the Brethren in Christ church of Uplan [sic Upland] on Nov. 21 for the three members of one family who met death at their home here the night of Nov. 14 when suffocated by fumes form a gas heater in their bedroom. The deceased are Menno Horst, 26, his wife, Allene, 24 and their five-year-old daughter, Evelyn Joan.
Another daughter, Eleanor, 13 months old, escaped probable death because she was spending the night at the home of her great-grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Swartzendruber of Upland.
Mrs. Horst was the daughter of George H. and Ida Beare, missionaries to the Central provinces, India, since 1926. She had lived in India from the age of five until about six years ago. Mr. Horst was the son of Mrs. L. K. Horst of Upland and is survived by five sisters.
The tragedy was not discovered until the evening of Nov. 15 when a relative of the Horsts, Mrs. Roy Roth of Upland, called at the home and, unable to arouse anyone, summoned police officers.
Relatives stated that the Horsts had just recently purchased the bedroom heater and had probably gone to bed with windows closed and the flame turned high due to the fact that Mr. Horst and his daughter were suffering from colds.
(A full report of the funeral service and obituaries of Mr. and Mrs. Horst and daughter will be printed in next week's Review.)
