EAST BURLINGTON CLAIMS 2D VICTIM
Miss Nina ROTH Died of Her Injuries Friday Night.--Father Still Lives.

From Saturday's Daily.

Miss Nina ROTH passed away last night at 9:30 o'clock at her home on South Third street, the second victim of the terrible runaway accident which has cast a shadow over the entire city.

About three o'clock yesterday Miss ROTH's condition began to take a turn for the worse and physicians saw that she had only a few hours to live. Her death was caused by the internal injuries which she had received a t the time of the accident Thursday evening.

Mr. ROTH's fractured jaw was set last night and he has been suffering so greatly that he had been kept under the influence of medicines. He has not yet been told of the death of his only daughter and does not know the terrible loss he has sustained.

For some time before her death Miss ROTH suffered greatly. The body of Mrs. ROTH was removed to the home late last night from the undertaking parlors.

Mother and daughter are lying side by side in the little home cold in death while anxious relatives and friends watch at the bedside of the injured husband and father. It is difficult to tell whether Mr. ROTH will survive or not; Mr. ROTH has been for nearly four years a prominent real estate man of this city. He is a partner of W. H. Jones and is well and favorably known. Mrs. ROTH and her daughter, were highly esteemed and admired in the social circles of the city and their tragic death has created the utmost consternation and sorrow among their acquaintances.

The ROTH family moved here from Packwood about four years ago. They had been residents of that place for nearly twenty years and when the news of the accident and the death of Mrs. ROTH reached that city yesterday the people could hardly comprehend the awful happening.

Funeral to be Private.

Owing to the serious condition of Mr. ROTH the funeral of his wife and daughter will be strictly private. Short services for the relatives will be held at the home on South Third street Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The remains will be laid to rest side by side in Evergreen cemetery.

Two In One Grave

The remains of Mrs. David ROTH and daughter Miss Nina who were victims of the terrible runaway accident which occurred on East Burlington street Thursday evening, were laid to rest Sunday afternoon in Evergreen cemetery.

Short services consisting of the reading of the twenty third psalm and prayer by Rev. Thomas Osborn of the Methodist Episcopal church, were held at the home on South Third street. These services were brief and private owing to the condition of the husband and father. Only the relatives were present.

The pall bearers were all intimate friends of the family. Six young ladies dressed in white carried the remains of their friend and companion, Miss Nina ROTH to the last resting place. They were, Misses Elma Gregg, Cora Jones, Eva George, Bertha Gobble, Anna and Carrie Stever.

Messrs. Scott A. Power, R. H. Spence, H. H. Jones, C. E. Ward, C. B. McPeek and E. A. Young reverently bore the body of Mrs. ROTH to its last resting place.

In one large grave the bodies of mother and daughter were placed side by side to await the resurrection day.

Willing hands of scores of friends had lined the grave with flowers so that it was amid numerous beautiful blossoms the mother and daughter were laid to rest.

Although the funeral services were private at the home a large crowd of nearly 600 friends gathered at the cemetery to pay their last respects to the departed.

Mrs. ROTH, who was Margaret J. EADEY, was born in Ontario, Canada July 11, 1857 and in early young womanhood was married to David ROTH. For some time after they were married Mr. and Mrs. ROTH made their home in Trenton where on June 29, 1882 their daughter, Miss Nina, was born.

Mr. and Mrs. ROTH and daughter moved to Packwood from Trenton and were residents of the former city nearly twenty years where they gained the respect and esteem of a large circle of friends.

About 1904 the family moved to this city where Mr. ROTH engaged in the real estate business and is at the present time a member of the firm of Roth & Jones.

The family were active workers in the Methodist church and the daughter was quite popular in the social circles of the city. Among the young people of the Methodist church she was a favorite and her sad death is a great shock to all.

Mrs. ROTH has been in ill health for several months past but had sufficiently recovered to be able to be up and around. Thinking that a change of climate would prove beneficial Mr. ROTH had completed every preparation for her to take an extended trip to the east during which she was to visit her aged mother in Detroit, Mich. Plans were made for her to leave on Tuesday June 9 for this trip when the terrible accident occurred Thursday evening resulting in her death and the death of her daughter only twenty four hours afterward. The condition of the bereaved husband and father is reported to be somewhat better today.
