A car crash three miles east of Nora Springs at the intersection of highways 18 and 147 about 4:30 Sunday evening, was fatal the following morning at a Mason City hospital to Joseph B. Ryner, 67, retired Rudd farmer.

Mason City highway patrolmen said the Ryner car, headed east, pulled off to the right, apparently to take the Rockford road, and then made a left turn instead, colliding with another eastbound car, driven by Don Trunnell of Cedar Falls.

Patrolmen said Ryner apparently was blinded by the sun and failed to see the Trunnell auto approaching from the rear. The Trunnell car struck the Ryner car in the rear, throwing it across the road.

Mr. Ryner died at the Mercy hospital at 4 a.m. Monday, August 17, [1953]. His wife, 65, who suffered bruises and a broken toe, was released from the hospital Monday. Mr. Trunnell and his wife suffered bruises and were treated at the hospital.

Mrs. Trunnel was released Sunday evening.

Funeral services for Mr. Ryner will be held at 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon, August 20, in the Methodist church at Rudd, with the pastor, the Rev. C. L. Oelke, in charge. Interment will be in Evergreen cemetery at Rudd. The Sheckler funeral home at Nora Springs, is in charge of arrangements.

The casket bearers are Ivan Bartz, August Frevert, Warren Frevert, William Schweizer, Walter Hanna and Robert Hoover. Mrs. Grace Stalker and Mrs. Laura Schrader have charge of the arrangement of floral tributes. Paul Stalker accompanied by Mrs.Ivan Bartz, will sing "In The Garden" and "Abide With Me".

Mr. Ryner, who was born March 15, 1886 at Loyal Mills, Pennsylvania, is survived by his wife and six children, Ernie, Donald and Willard Ryner, all of Rudd, Mrs. Joan Klemesrud, of Nora Springs, Mrs. George Blunt and Miss Vera Ryner, both of Los Angeles.
