Unusual Accident Results in Death Of Minnesota Woman

MRS. HENRY J. VOTH FATALLY INJURED IN FALL FROM MOVING CAR

Mountain Lake, Minn. — An unusual mishap on the highway west of here Sunday evening, Aug. 17 resulted in fatal injury to Mrs. Henry J. Voth, 52, who passed away at 3:00 o’clock the next morning at the Bethel Clinic hospital. Funeral services took place on Thursday at the M. B. church. Rev. Dan E. Friesen officiating.

Mr. and Mrs. Voth and a daughter, Helen, were returning from Bingham Lake where they had visited their son, Henry Voth, when the lights on their car went out. It is believed that Mrs. Voth became excited and grasped the door handle, opening the door. The force of the wind pulled her out on the pavement, and she suffered a severe head concussion.

Surviving besides the husband, daughter and son mentioned above are a daughter, Mrs. Joe Ediger of Hillsboro, Kansas, and another son, Carl, at home.
