Was Instantly Killed When Ford Coupe Went Into Ditch and Turned Over.
Funeral Was Held Wednesday.

Henry Hansen, 20 years old, son of John F. Hansen, who lives in Hayes Township, four and one-half miles north and four and one-half miles west of Manning, was instantly killed about 2:30 Monday morning, three-fourths of a mile northwest of town, when his Ford coupe went into the ditch.

His sister, Rosie Hansen, and Helen Vehrs were with him in the car, but were not injured. The accident happened so quickly they were unable to tell much about it but it is supposed the car turned over twice. When the young ladies crawled out they found Henry pinned down by the car and as they could not release him went to Leroy Strathman for help.

Mr. Strathman and his man hurried to the scene. When they removed him from under the car they were sure he was dead, however, Dr. Wyatt was called. Dr. Wyatt found he was dead and notified coroner Forrest at Carroll. When the facts were explained to him, the coroner directed that the body be brought to Manning, which was done.

An investigation by Coroner Forrest Monday forenoon proved that the death was the result of an accident and no inquest was held.

Mr. Hansen and the young ladies had attended a wedding anniversary at the John G. Mohr home Sunday evening. They had taken Herbert Vehrs to Emil Puck's place where he works, and were returning to their own homes when the accident occurred.

The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at the home.
