MRS. MOREY DIES HERE; RITES TODAY
Taken Ill While On A Visit Here.
Mrs. Adah Elizabeth Morey, 69, died at the home of her son-in-law and
daughter, Dr. and Mrs. F. C. Bendixen, a little afternoon Tuesday.
She had been visiting there a few days, having just completed a visit with
Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Morey at Craig.
Mrs. Morey had been frail and in poor health for some time but Friday upon
retiring seemed to be in usually good spirits. A few hours after retiring,
she was taken seriously ill and her case was aggravated by a weakened heart.
NURSE CALLED.
A nurse was placed in charge, but all that doctor’s skill and loving hands
could do was of no avail. She was unconscious most of the time but at times
rallied.
She had a beautiful personality, and lived a fine Christian life. By her
considerate ways she won a host of friends, who express sympathy to the
bereaved children and grandchildren.
Adah E. Morey was born at Ames, Ia., Oct. 7, 1866. She was united in
marriage to George Morey, Oct. 1, 1881.
EIGHT CHILDREN.
To this union eight children were born. George Jr. died in infancy; Mrs.
Pearl Miller, Feb. 2, 1936; and a son, Ellis, April 15, 1936. The following
children survive: William of Menlo; Mrs. Edith Harvey, of San Francisco,
Cal.; Mrs. Clara Shelly of Grinnell; Mrs. Mildred Bendixen, of Ireton; and
Vernon, of Craig. Also the following grandchildren: Glenn and Frances
Morey, of Menlo; Harry and George Miller and Laura Butts, of California;
Keith and Donall Harvey of San Francisco; Merrill Shelly of Grinnell; Lois
Morey of Fresno, Cal.; and Dona Lee Bendixen, of Ireton. Five great
grandchildren, also three sisters, Mrs. Jesse Hart of Detroit, Kansas; Mrs.
Margaret Abbey of St. Joseph, Mo.; and Mrs. Hattie Johnson, of Atlantic; and
a brother, John Bunning of Oklahoma.
FUNERAL TODAY.
Her remains were taken to Audubon, he old home, and the body will be in
state at the home of a dear friend, Mrs. Sampson. Funeral services will be
held at the Audubon M. E. church Thursday at 2 o’clock. Interment made at
Exira, Ia., in the family plot.

to Audubon Wednesday and Dr. F. C. Bendixen will leave Thursday to attend
the funeral.

CORT STRUCK IS INJURED IN AUTO SMASH
Trapped In Car, Cut By Flying Glass
Cort Struck, of Fairmont, Minn., former Ireton resident, was severely
injured Wednesday morning when his car collided at the intersection of
Highways 231 and 10 with a car driven by a Mrs. Brown of Hawarden.
Mr. Struck, trapped in his car as the side caved in under the force of the
impact, suffered a number of scalp gashes, bruises about his body and a
possible chest injury.
Dr. F. C. Bendixen, who attended him, said Mr. Struck’s injuries are not
regarded as critical, and no internal injuries are apparent.
MRS. BROWN ESCAPES.
Mrs. Brown, wife of the manager of the Gamble Store in Hawarden, escaped
with a slight cut on her forehead and minor bruises. Her car, however, was
badly wrecked.
Dr. F. C. Bendixen was called and helped to extricate Mr. Struck from the
wreckage of his car, then brought him to Ireton when the accident occurred.
BROADSIDE CRASH.
Apparently, observers who visited the scene of the accident said, Mr. Struck
drove onto the highway in the path of Mrs. Brown’s car, which struck
broadside midway between front and rear wheels of Mr. Struck’s car.
The force of the crash caved in the right side of Mr. Struck’s car, breaking
the front door window completely out of the frame. Flying glass from this
window caused most of Mr. Struck’s injuries.
The terrific force of the collision is indicated by the imprint of the iron
of Mrs. Brown’s car left in the side of the other car.
HERE ON BUSINESS.
Mr. Struck has been in Ireton for several days superintending repairs on his
residence property here which was damaged by fire some time ago.
He is recovering at Dr. Bendixen’s home in Ireton. It was thought it will
not be necessary to remove him to a hospital.
