   TRAFFIC ACCIDENT TAKES LIFE OF WIFE AND MOTHER
   Mrs. Orval Shellenbarger was fatally injured and others less seriously
   late Saturday night when the wagon in which they were riding on M-43 was
   struck by a truck driven by Eldon Farrell of E. Woodland.
   
   Mr. Farrell, who was bringing a truck load of produce from Hastings
   where he is connected with a produce company, did not see the wagon on
   which Mr. and Mrs. Shellenbarger, their son Robert, and neighbors, Mr.
   and Mrs. Robert Lepley were riding. The truck struck the rear of the
   wagon, precipitating the occupants onto the pavement. Mrs.
   Shellenbarger being fatally injured, so that she died a short time later
   in Pennock hospital, and the others receiving severe cuts and bruises,
   but it is believed they will recover.
   
   Mrs. Shellenbarger was well known in this vicinity, and all regret the
   untimely accident which ended her life. The entire sympathy of the
   community rests with the family in this sudden and tragic passing of
   this wife and mother.
   
   Funeral services were held from the Woodland U.B. church Tuesday
   afternoon with interment at lake Odessa.
   
   Sympathy is also extended to Mr. Farrell, who, although unavoidable as
   the accident was, feels keenly his part in the catastrophe. We are sure
   that Mr. Farrell will be completely exonerated, Mr. Farrell aided the
   injured as much as possible, called the sheriff, giving his version of
   the accident, and in fact, did all that anyone in his position could do.
   
   Because of a difference of opinion regarding the light on the wagon, an
   inquest will be called for some time during the latter part of the week.
