Page 1, Column 8Mother of Seven Apparent Hit, Run Victim
Des Moines—Mrs. Martha Hogue, 43, mother of seven children, was found dead early today and police said she was apparently the victim of a hit and run driver.
Mrs. Hogue’s body was found on the parking lot at Second and Army Post road. Broken headlight glass was found in the street.
Police estimated she died at 5:05 a.m., the time her watch stopped.
Mrs. Hogue was on her way to relieve her husband at the downtown restaurant they operated. She apparently was walking to catch a bus at the time she was struck. Her husband said he had talked to her on the telephone only a short time before she left their home. The Hogue home is on the southern edge of Des Moines.
