The accident happened when their car, driven by Mr. Affeldt, was struck by another. Mrs. Affeldt was killed instantly but her son lived for a few hours. Mr. Affeldt suffered rib fractures and arm injuries, the extent of which is not as yet fully known but he is still in the Lodi Hospital, said to be in serious condition.

Survivors include her husband; her parents here in Riceville; brothers, William, Independence, Robert, Vinton and a sister, Mrs. Robert Boswell, San Francisco.
