Accident Near Hampton Claims Cynthia Kolthoff

Ackley--Cynthia Sue Kolthoff, 19, died Thursday night at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines from injuries suffered in a car-truck collision southeast of Hampton.

The Franklin county sheriff's office reported that Miss Kolthoff's car, a 1970 Opel owned by her father, was struck by a 1969 Chevrolet truck driven by Arthur Ray Wagner, 33, of rural Hampton. The accident occurred at a "T" intersection as the Kolthoff vehicle was attempting a left turn.

Miss Kolthoff was taken first to Franklin General Hospital in Hampton and then transferred to Des Moines.

Charges of failure to yield at an intersection have been filed against Wagner.

Miss Kolthoff, a former Ellsworth Community College student, was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Kolthoff of rural Ackley. In addition to her parents, she is survived by a brother, Dennis of Steamboat Rock; a sister, Janella, at home; her paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Hilko Kolthoff of Steamboat Rock; and her maternal grandfather, Claus Risius of Ackley.

Funeral services were held this afternoon (Monday) from East Friesland Presbyterian Church near here and burial was in the church cemetery.
