SON FINDS MOTHER DEAD IN YARD
IN SUB-ZERO COLD

A son, Marlin, who lives at home, called authorities after finding her body. The Luken-Johnson ambulance was called.

Dr. H. L. Vander Stoep, who was called in the absence of Dr. Sherman Lindell, medical examiner, said death was due to exposure and freezing.
