Funeral services for Mrs. M.F. Bozell of Bancroft, formerly of this city, who died following an auto accident Saturday afternoon, were held at the Foster funeral home this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.

Mrs. Bozell is survived by her husband and one son, Ray, of Fort Riley, Kan. There are also four brothers - W.R. Wood, of Sullivan, Ill.; John E. Wood, of Michigan; James E. Wood, of Indiana, and E.D. Wood, of Peoria, Ill.

Mr. and Mrs. Bozell were on their way to Ames when the accident occurred north of Humboldt Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. It was said Mr. Bozell slowed the car for a railroad crossing when the car struck loose gravel, swerved to the left side of the road and overturned. It is thought that Mrs. Bozell was thrown against the top of the car.

She was taken to Mercy hospital at Fort Dodge where she died at 4:15 o'clock, death being caused by internal injuries.
