Mother of Former Missionary Killed in Nebraska Crash

Word was received here Sunday by Rev. and Mrs. Malcolm Wenger that Mrs. Wenger's mother, Mrs. Henry Boehr, of Beatrice, Neb. had been fatally injured in a traffic accident near there.

The Wengers are former missionaries to the Cheyenne Indians in Montana and now reside in Newton, where he is serving as Home Missions and Evangelism Secretary for the Board of Missions.

According to information received by friends here, Mr. and Mrs. Boehr were returning home from an afternoon service at the First Mennonite Church near Beatrice when a youthful driver ran a stop sign, hitting the Boehr auto. Mr. Boehr was injured and was admitted to the Mennonite Hospital in Beatrice.

Mrs. Boehr, the former Elizabeth Wiebe, was 79. The funeral is to be held at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Beatrice Mennonite Church. Surviving in addition to the Wengers and their five daughters are two sisters, Mrs. P. D. Schultz of Wichita and Sister Magdalene Wiebe of the Bethel Home, Newton.
