Interstate High Seniors…..

Two Girls Killed in Car Crash

Two 17-year-old girls, both seniors at Interstate 35 High School, were killed early Saturday morning when their car crashed at high speed on a secondary road in Clarke county, north of Osceola. The victims were:

Teresa R. Lull, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lull of St. Charles, and Linda J. Isenberger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Isenberger of rural Osceola.

The accident occurred within a half mile of the home of Miss Isenberger’s parents. Linda Isenberger was driving the convertible when it went out of control and crashed against a tree. She was found dead in the wreckage. Miss Lull was alive when rescuers reached her but died later at the hospital.

Linda Jean Isenberger was born at Osceola June 6, 1950, a daughter of Jack and Delores Stegman Isenberger. She was a senior student at Interstate 35 High school at her death.

She was a member of the Methodist church and was active in Methodist Youth fellowship.

She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Isenberger of Osceola; two brothers, Jack and Bill Isenberger and a sister, Nancy Isenberger, all at home; and her grandmothers, Mrs. Henry Stegman and Mrs. William Isenberger, both of Truro.

Funeral services were held Tuesday from the Truro Methodist church, in charge of the pastor, the Rev. James Nicholson. Burial was made in Fremont cemetery.
