Boy, 14, Dies From Highway Crash Injuries

James Schake, 14, of 1140 Dundee Avenue, died in Allen Memorial Hospital at 12:40 a.m. Sunday, less than an hour after the light truck in which he was riding with his father, Walter, 40 crashed into the rear of a large truck that had stopped in the traffic lane on Highway 63, just north of Denver, Iowa.

The father of the dead boy also seriously injured in the accident, spent a fairly comfortable night at Allen Memorial Hospital attendants said Monday.

Members of the Iowa Highway Patrol said that Schake's light truck crashed into the rear of a semi-trailer being driven by Harry E. Boren, 123 Vine Street.

Boren told the officers that engine trouble had halted his truck and that the Schake car crashed into the rear of it before he had time to put out flares.

The cab of Schake's truck was sheared off by the impact and both father and son were pinned in the wreckage.

James Allan Schake was born Sept 12, 1934, in Bellingham, Wash., the son of Walter and Birdelle Schake.

He was a member of the Falls Avenue Wesleyan Methodist Church Sunday school and was an eighth grade student at Sloane Wallace School.

He is survived by his parents, three brothers, Warren, Derryl, Dale, three sisters, Marlyn, Ardice and Darla; the maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Porter, Carleton, Minn., and the paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Schake, 80 Zuma Street.

The body is at Kearns Garden Chapel.
