Dorothy Lucille Hildebrand, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Hildebrand was born on a farm three miles west of Newton on May 22, 1914, died July 2 at the age of 16 years. When she was two years old she moved with her parents to Newton where she lived the remainder of her life. She attended the Newton schools until late in the winter when she was forced to discontinue her school work because of ill health.
About a year ago she was seriously ill with asthma and was taken to Iowa City to the hospital where she was cured. She re-entered school last fall for only a short time before she was forced to return to the hospital for a mastoid operation. Since that time she had gained in health until her death which occurred shortly after 9 o’clock Wednesday evening when the car in which she was riding was crowded into the ditch on highway No 32, west of Cherry Creek bridge, two and one-half miles west of Newton.
Lucille was employed in the job printing department of the News Printing company where she was one of the trusted and valued employees. Her kindly disposition and the spirit of cooperation which she always promoted among those around her will always be remembered by those who knew her.
