— The past week-end was a time of many tragedies. To the tornadoes and rainstorms were added several serious automobile accidents, resulting in injury and death. This morning at about eleven o'clock Sister Aganetha Wiens of the Bethel Hospital died of injuries received last Sunday in a auto wreck near Eureka. She had been taken to the Basham Hospital there, where she also passed away. Together with Sister Aganetha in the same accident were John Wiens, Buhler, who suffered scalp cuts and was in a serious condition; Mrs. Wiens, his wife, who has a chest injury, Esther Wiens, who was badly shaken up, and Leona Enns, a student nurse, who has a broken pelvis. The accident happened when cars were passing each other and the Wiens car was hurled against a concrete culvert. Sister Aganetha will be greatly missed by the Bethel Sisters, by whom she was loved and highly respected. She is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Maria Wiens of Newton, Mrs. G. F. Kroeker of Lebanon, Ore., John J. Wiens, Buhler, Berhard E. Wiens, Hillsboro, Jacob E. Wiens and Abr. E. Wiens, Meade, Mrs. Peter F. Nachtigal and Mrs. Harry Grochowsky, Newton. Funeral services are to be held Saturday, at 1;30 p.m. at the Bethel Deaconess Home chapel and at 2 P. M. at the First Mennonite church.
