Former Kansan Dies In Oregon Accident.

Inman, Kan. — This community was shocked by the news that Elizabeth Martens, 61, formerly of Inman, was killed in an auto accident near Scio, Oregon the evening of Feb. 13.

According to the report received here, Miss Martens and her sister Kathryn were coming home from work when their car skidded on a slippery curve in the road and upset, landing in a water-filled ditch. The doctor said Elizabeth's death was due to drowning. Her sister was confined to the hospital, suffering from shock.

The Martens sisters lived in and around Inman all their lives until moving to Oregon two years ago.

Funeral services for Elizabeth Martens were to be conducted Feb. 16 at Scio and on Monday afternoon, Feb. 19, at the Zion Mennonite Church near Inman.
