New Dial Phone Number The Menasha Record Except Sundays and The Record's Published Daily Is 2-4311 Holidays ESTABLISHED 1895 MENASHA NEENAH, MONDAY, NOV EMBER 1, 1948 VOL. 54, NO. 259 MENASHA GIRL DIES IN CRASH Automobile Collision Fatal to Betty Jane Dyer, 555 Broad StreetFive Others Injured Miss Betty Dyer, 20, of 555 Broad street, (Menasha, was instantly killed early Sunday morning at Gmeiner's corner on Highway 47, town of Menasha, when the car in which she was a passenger turned over in a deep ditch after a twocar collision at the intersection with County Trunk P. Taken to St. Elizabeth hospital, Appleton, were five passengers of the two cars.

Least seriously injured was John Rasmussen, 21, of 451 Washington avenue, Neenah, driver of the car in which Miss Dyer was killed. She was riding with him in the front seat. Rasmussen received cuts, bruises and abrasions. Also 1 taken to the hospital was a second couple in Rasmussen's car, James 20, of 810 Hewitt street, Neenah, and Miss Marlyn Gonion, 21, of 713 Kinzie court, Menasha. Her Injuries were not considered serious and Schmidt was released after first aid treatment.

Most seriously injured was Charles Beavers, 18, of 620 Prospect street, Appleton, driver of the second car. He is suffering from internal injuries and a possible fractured, skull. With him was Miss Joan Kohl, 16, of 2600 West Wisconsin avenue, who received minor cuts and bruises. All five were taken to the hospital in the Neenah city ambulance. The accident occurred, according to Winnebago county officer Hugo Kirchberg, who investigated the wreck, about 12:25 o'clock Sunday morning.

Apparently the car driven by Rasmussen was headed from Appleton toward Menasha on Highway 47 and the Beavers' car was coming from Menasha toward Appleton on County Trunk P. The two vehicles met at the intersection in an almost head-on collision, throwing both machines into the ditch on the east side of Highway 47. It was as Rasmussen's car rolled over that Miss Dyer was killed, officers believe. The window on her side was down and her head apparently was forced through the opening just as the car rolled over and came to rest on her head, fracturing her skull and breaking her neck. Her body was wedged between the seat and the exterior of the car so that it was necessary to rush a wrecker to the scene of the accident and pull the car upright before the body could be removed.

Both automobiles were totally wrecked. There were apparently no witnesses to the accident. A taxicab driver was first to reach the scene of the crash within a few minutes after it had occurred, and sent in a call for the ambulance and for officers. Within a few minutes, a crowd estimated at almost 250 persons had gathered at the scene of the accident. Additional help was given by the Appleton police department and traffic on County Trunk was rerouted around the wreckage.

Winnebago County Sheriff Clarence Smith is heading an investigation today to determine the exact cause of the wreck. County Coroner Dr. G. A. Steele announced late Sunday that an inquest would be held.

The coroner's jury was to be selected today, he said, and they would view the body, the two automobiles and the scene of the accident. It was thought probable that it might be several weeks before an inquest could be held because of the seriousness of Beaver's condition. Statements have already been taken from Rasmussen and several of the passengers, but the Inquest will not be held until Beavers is able to attend. Betty Jane Dyer was born February 1, 1928, In Menasha, and graduated from Menasha high school with the class of 1945. She is survived by her parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Wallace Dyer; one brother, Maurice; and her grandfather, Harry Dyer, Funeral services will be held all of Menasha.
