Hansell,
Claudine -
Miss . Claucline Hansell, 23,
school teacher at the Hagan School, was found dead of monoxide gas early
Tuesday morning and her companion, Lawrence
Higdon, 20,
of near Davis City, is in a critical condition suffering from the effects of
the gas and exposure, says the Lamoni Chronicle. The
couple was discovered at six o'clock Tuesday morning by Roy Hullinger and Green Hawks. The parents of the girl, who live in Ridgeway, Mo., were
accompanied to the scene of the accident by the coroner. The body was taken to
the funeral home at Ridgeway. The boy remains at the Roy Hullinger home fighting off an attack of pneumonia, too ill to be moved to his own home
or to the hospital.
Miss Hansell and her companion had returned from Cainsville, Mo., where they had taken Higdon's brother back
to school, and parked in front of the Roy Hullinger home where she was living. According to Mr. Hullinger,
he heard
the car drive
up to the gate at 9:30 Monday evening. After seeing who it was, Mr. Hawks
thought no more about the parked car until he noticed it early the next
morning. Calling Mr. Hullinger, the two investigated
and found the young couple. Both were thought to be dead. Dr. Wailes was called to the scene of the accident and arranged
for the body of the boy to be taken into the Hullinger
home where he
was given treatment. The girl had been dead for several hours.
The switch
of the car was still turned on which indicated that the car had run out of gas
sometime during the night. Higdon owes
his life to the fact that the motor quit running and his being on the left side
of the car. It is also thought the tact
that the wind was blowing over Higdon towards the girl was a factor in saving
his life. According to the attending
physician, Higdon remains in a
stupor with the exceptions of a few lucid moments. His lungs are in an irritated condition but if pneumonia can »e
prevented he has a chance to recover.
Friends of
the Higdon boy say the battery on his car had been run down which made the car
hard to start. It is supposed that the couple drove up to the
Hullinger home
.intending to park only a few minutes and because the car was hard to start and
left the motor running. Both must have been overcome by the deadly fumes within a short time as Miss Hansell had been dead several hours when examined by the
coroner. The time of her death was fixed as approximately midnight.
Miss Hansell is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charley Hansell who live six miles east of Ridgeway and is survived
by her parents, two sisters and one brother. This is the first year she had taught at the Hagan school but she had acquired many friends in the community during the weeks she had
been one of them. Higdon is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Higdon of near Davis City.
