Accident Injuries Prove Fatal to Ohio Woman

Millersburg, Ohio. — Mrs. Sarah Coblentz, 42, of rural Millersburg died Nov. 17 of injuries sustained in an automobile accident on Nov. 9 in West Virginia.

At the time of the accident Mrs. Coblentz, accompanied by her husband John and another couple, was transporting chickens, vegetables and clothing to Faith Mission Home, an Amish home for retarded children at Mission Home, Va. Fellow-church members had donated these items. The other couple were Mr. and Mrs. Dan Yoder.

The accident reportedly occurred when the right wheels of the car dropped onto the shoulder. The car went out of control, hit an embankment and rolled over. The only other person injured in the mishap was Mrs. Elizabeth Yoder, who spent two days in the hospital.

Services for Mrs. Coblentz were held on Monday, Nov. 20, at the Shiloh Fellowship A. M. Church with rev. Uriah Shetler officiating.

Survivors are her father and stepmother, 10 brothers and sisters, and nine stepbrothers and sisters.
