One Killed, Four Hurt When Car of Minnesota Family Hits Truck

Mt. Lake, Minn. — Relatives from Mt. Lake attended funeral services at Hutchinson, Minn. on Dec. 26 for Mrs. Sam Scholl, 32, the former Elfrieda Bartel of Fairview, Okla., who died in a highway crash en route to Fairview to visit her family over Christmas.

Also attending the services were her parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. V. Bartel, and sisters and brothers who made the trip from Fairview to Hutchinson in two chartered airplanes.

It was learned here that Mr. Scholl, 35, and his son Ricky, 10, both critically injured in the crash, were showing improvement in a Lincoln, Neb. hospital. Another son, Scott, 6, suffered a broken leg, and eight-year-old Stanton escaped with cuts and bruises.

The family was traveling on a snow-covered highway near York, Neb. when their car crashed into the rear of a parked semi-trailer truck. The rear of the truck had been plastered with blowing snow, making it difficult to see.

Mr. Scholl, a native of Mt. Lake and former teacher here, is head of the psychology department in the Hutchinson High School.
