DIES AS RESULT OF AUTO ACCIDENT

Moundridge, Kan., June 6. — Miss Leta Voth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Voth of Elyria, passed away at the McPherson County Hospital Friday from injuries received in an automobile accident last Wednesday afternoon. Funeral services were held at the Hoffnungsfeld Church Sunday afternoon.

The accident, which was responsible for the death of Miss Voth, occurred about two miles south of McPherson. Miss Marie Taves, of this city was with Miss Voth at the time of the accident but was not injured to any great extent. Miss Voth was driving the car at the time of the accident and in some manner lost control causing the car to roll over several times throwing Miss Voth from the car. Both occupants were taken to the hospital by passers-by and it was thought at first that the injuries received by Miss Voth were not serous, but on account of her sudden death Friday it is presumed that she was suffering from some internal injury.

Miss Voth was a girl who had many friends and the funeral was one of the largest ever held at the above church. — Moundridge Journal.
