Woman Dies From Injuries In Collision
Mrs. Paul Kaser and Husband Seriously Hurt Late Sunday Afternoon
Mrs. Myrtle Kaser, 67, wife of Paul Kaser, living on Frankfort R.F.D. 7, west of the dormitory and mess hall on the federal rifle range north-west of Frankfort died in the Clinton hospital at 12:20 Monday afternoon from injuries received on Sunday afternoon after 5 o'clock in a head-on automobile collision which occurred a half mile east of her home at an intersection of gravel road and the new pavement of highway 39. In the collision which also seriously injured her husband and three other persons to the hospital (sic) for emergency surgical and medical treatment, Mrs. Kaser sustained a fractured left ankle and severe cuts on her head and face in addition to acute shock.
Those injured besides Mrs. Kazer and given emergency treatment at the hospital were:
H. W. Cummings, 49, his wife, same address.
Francis Cummings, 14, a son, same address.
Carrol Krise, 16, companion of young Cummings and living at box 472, RFD 17, Indianapolis, a neighbor of the Cummings.
On October 14, 1918, Mrs. Kaser was injured in a peculiar automobile accident not far from where she received her fatal injuries. On that date, she and her son were passengers in a Ford car driven by Mr. Kaser when he was blinded by lights of an approaching car and his machine collided with a horse-drawn vehicle. Her face and arms were cut by flying glass and she was badly bruised.
Mr. and Mrs. Cummings received bodily injuries and bruises and shock while their son received cuts on his head and left leg. Young Krise, who was a passenger with young Cummings in the rear seat of the car was unhurt.
Paul Kaser, who walked with the aid of a crutch, received a fracture of the left knee, cuts on the head and face and many body bruises.
According to John Hamilton, county sheriff and state police officer Ira Pendry, who investigated, Mr. and Mrs. Kaser, in a 1929 Oldsmobile, were traveling north on the new pavement, while the Cummings enroute to their home from the lakes (Continued on page Two) near Monticello, were riding in a late model Buick. It is said that Kaser, in attempting to turn off the pavement onto the new strip of dirt road which continues westward across the old and abandoned portion of state road 39, pulled across the center traffic line a distance of nearly fifty feet south of the point of intersection. This was the statement made by State Officer Pendry.
This action put the Kaser machine directly into the path of the southbound Cummings machine, the two cars meeting with a terrific crash head-on, the state policeman said. Marks were also on the pavement showing the course of the Kaser car, the officer added. The injured were taken to the hospital in the Goodwin ambulance.
County Coroner Howard R. Moore was conducting an official inquiry into the accident yesterday.
Funeral services for Mrs. Kaser will be held Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock from the Goodwin Funeral Home. Burial will take place at the St. Luke's cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home after 2 p.m. today.
Mrs. Kaser, who lived within three miles of this city all her life, was born December 18, 1874, the daughter of Samuel and Mary (Gilespie) McCray. She was joined in marriage to Paul Kaser on February 25, 1892.
She was a member of the St. Luke's church and an active member of the Ladies' Aid Society of that church. In February, her husband and she would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
Surviving besides the widower are two daughters, Mrs. Clen Young of R.R. 3, Lebanon; and Mrs. Nellie Robinson of this city; and one son, Glen, also of this city. A sister, Mrs. William Kirby, of Frankfort; two brothers, Harry of Farmland and William of Winchester; four grandchildren and five Great-grandchildren, also survive.
One son and two sisters preceded her in death.
