Will L. Trawver, a former resident of Winterset, was killed Wednesday night, May 11th, when he fell from an automobile near Gladbrook, shortly after 8:30 o’clock. Mr. Trawver has been living in Des Moines for several years, where he is treasurer of the Iowa Auto Market. The coroner of Tama county, A. L. Hutchinson, who investigated the accident, said that Trawver was riding in the back seat of a car driven by Charles Clopton, an employee of the auto market, and was enroute to Des Moines. Trawver is believed to have been asleep, and to have fallen, when the car started around a turn, and fractured his skull. The accident took place two and a half miles east of Gladbrook. Gladbrook is 18 miles northeast of Marshalltown.

Mr. Trawver was a son of J. C. Trawver. He is survived by his wife, two brothers, C. J. and Harry Trawver, and his father.

Funeral services will be held at the Lilly funeral home Saturday at one o’clock. His body will be brought here in the afternoon and there will be short services at the Winterset cemetery.
