Well Known Woman Loses Life in Auto Accident

Mrs. Frances Sibl, who has been a resident of Table Rock vicinity for more then half a century, was the victim of a fatal automobile accident on the Pawnee-Tecumseh highway at about six miles south of Tecumseh Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Sibl and her son Edward, were driving in one car and were followed in another car by her son, Paul, and daughter Rose. They were going to Tecumseh for the purpose of selecting a monument fo9r the grave of Mrs. Sibl's husband, James Sibl, who died a few months ago.

At a road intersection the Sibl car was struck by a car driven by Dwight T. Dannen, a grain and hay buyer for a St. Joseph firm. The occupants were thrown out and when Mrs. Sibl was picked up she was unconscious. She was carried into a farm home and Dr. W. R. Boyer of Pawnee City was sent for, who arrived and administered restoratives and the injured woman was taken to the hospital in Pawnee City. She lingered through the night and in one of her conscious moments asked what had happened, as she had no knowledge of what had taken place. She died about 5 o'[clock Sunday morning. Her injuries were about the head and internal.

At the place where the accident occurred the weeds had grown so high that the drivers did not see each other until too late to avoid the crash.

The body of the deceased woman was taken to her farm home where funeral services were held Wednesday conducted in English by a pastor of a DuBois church and in Bohemian by Frank Dobrovolny of DuBois. Interment was in the Bohemian cemetery near Humboldt.

Mrs. Sibl was 56 years of age and had lived here since young childhood. She married here and was the mother of nine children. One, living in Iowa, was on her way to Minnesota and cold not be reached until Monday afternoon when she telegraphed sh would be here for the funeral. The other children live here and in the community, except Rose, who lives in Pawnee City.

The sad affair has caused sorrow to all her many friends for she was loved and esteemed by all who knew her.

Mr. Dannen, driver of the other car was not injured, but left his card and that of his firm, so that correspondence could be had with them at any time it was necessary.

Ed Sibl was not hurt.
