Monona Woman Dies After Crash at National

Collision Sends Five to Hospital

Garnavillo----A Monona woman died and five other persons were seriously injured as a result of a two-car crash that occurred six miles north of Garnavillo about 8:15 p.m. Sunday, May 16.

Miss Ruby Staade, 50, Monona, died at the Central Community Hospital Sunday night from injuries received in the crash which took place on highway 52 in front of the Swiss Miss restaurant.

According to a report from authorities, the deceased woman was riding in a car driven by Roy Hoth, 52, and his wife. The Hoth car was making a left turn into the Swiss Miss parking lot and went into the path of a car driven by Glen Wright, 45, of Dodge Center, Minnesota.

Wright's wife, 41, and another passenger, Rollo Horsman, 45, Rochester, Minnesota along with Hoth and his wife were rushed to the Central Community Hospital for emergency treatment. Hoth, his wife, and the Wrights were considered to be in fair condition Tuesday evening. Horsman was the least injuried in the collision and was released from Central Community Hospital Tuesday afternoon.

All three Elkader doctors and all available nurses and technicians were called Sunday night to assist the victims of the crash. The emergency occurred when the hospital was already quite busy and all possible extra help was needed.

The point of the crash is located at the crest of a hill near the village of National and became the location of the third motor vehicle death in Clayton County for 1965.

Clayton County Sheriff Milton Klink assisted in the investigation of the fatal crash Sunday night.
