AUTO CRASH FATAL TO A RESIDENT OF BRUNSVILLE

Rites Held Last Saturday For Mrs. Henry Harms

Mrs. Henry Harms, 75, well known Brunsville resident, was killed in an auto accident during the storm Tuesday evening, March 22, on Highway 3, about four miles west of Le Mars, reports the Daily Sentinel.

Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at St. Peter Lutheran church, Brunsville, Rev. Clarence Nagel offciating. Burial was in the church cemetery.

Sheriff Jim Mertes, a son-in-law of Mrs. Harms, said a car driven by Mrs. Herman Wilken, Brunsville, a daughter of Mrs. Harms, went out of control and rolled into a ditch, pinning the victim under the vehicle. Also investigating was Highway Patrolman D. S. Hays.

It was windy, raining and sleeting at the time and the blacktop road was slippery, officers reported.
