Connersville, Ind., June 2. --

Mrs. Violet Levi, 32, died yesterday of injuries received in the crash. Her husband, Ernest Levi, 45, and the couple's son-in-law, James Jackson, 24, were killed instantly in the accident.

Ernest is the half-brother of Flora Clevenger. As a close friend of Verle Warfield, Ernest introduced him to his half-sister Flora. Verle and Flora became my maternal grandparents.
I wish I could have known Ernest, he died five years before I was born. Rest in peace.
