Two South Dakota Youths Killed in Highway Accident

Freeman, S. D. — A large crowd attended the funeral services at the Zion Mennonite Church, Bridgewater, for Kenneth Tschetter, 18, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul W. Tschetter of that community who was killed in a highway accident which also claimed the life of a Montrose, S. D. youth.

Young Tschetter and his companion, Roger Zimmer, were traveling near Emery around midnight when their car hit an icy stretch on the highway, went out of control and crashed. Kenneth was killed instantly and Zimmer died a short time later.

The young men were returning to Mitchell where they attended a vocational technical school.
