Lyle Green Dies Of Crash Injuries At Age 34 Years

Lyle Green, 34, who farmed northeast of Goodell, died a week ago Wednesday at Belmond Community hospital from injuries he received Tuesday evening of last week in a one car accident.

He had made some purchases at the Goodell Grocery and was hurrying home because he was scheduled to truck a load of livestock to Waterloo as a relief driver Tuesday night. Investigating officers believed his right rear tire had blown out as he approached or was in the process of turning the corner just west of Amsterdam cemetery to the east of Goodell.

Funeral held at Klemme

His car rolled into the deep ditch at the east. Mr. Green was rushed to the hospital as soon as the accident was discovered but never regained consciousness. The wrecked car was not found until two or more hours after the accident.

Funeral services were held Saturday at the Methodist church in Klemme and the Goodell and Klemme Legion Posts conducted military rites in conjunction with the burial at Evergreen cemetery, Britt.
