Henry Roseburough Killed In Crash; Rites At Zearing

Funeral services were conducted at Zearing Saturday morning for Henry Roseburough, 50, former Ames resident, who was instantly killed Thursday in a grade crossing accident at Clarksville. Burial was in the Zearing cemetery.

He is survived by his wife at Waverly, his mother, Mrs. Jane Roseburough of this place, and two brothers, Lewis of St. Joseph, Mo., and Joseph of Hawthorne, Calif.

Born at Zearing, Mr. Roseburough moved to Nevada with his parents while still a young boy and resided there until about 12 years ago, when he came to Ames. He moved from Ames to Waverly some time ago and had been driving a truck for a Waterloo laundry concern.

Mr. Roseburough was killed when his truck was struck by a train. His body was thrown more than 75 feet.
