Dubuque Telegraph Herald, Sun., 28 Dec. 1913.
McGregor, Ia., Dec. 27- Special:
While returning from a Christmas celebration at National, a small town 12 miles west of McGregor, Ia., Harvey Henning, age eighteen years, was instantly killed and his two sisters, Alvina and Nelda, seriously injured when the automobile driven by the young man went over a bridge and turned turtle. Marvin, a brother, the fourth member of the party escaped with minor injuries. He was thrown clear of the machine in the fall and summoned help for the others pinioned underneath it.
Physicians are unable at this writing to determine the extent of the girls' injuries. Both were unconscious when rescued and were removed with the body of their unfortunate brother to their home near National. The parents of the victims, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Henning, are pioneer and wealthy farmers of that vicinity.
