  • Notes 
    • Mrs. Jacob Rahn Passed Away From Injuries Sustained In Accident of Sunday April 24; Inquest Tuesday

      Injuries sustained in an auto collision Sunday night, April 24th at 8: 48 o'clock proved fatal to Mrs. Jacob Rahn, 114 South King Street, who passed away at the K-W hospital yesterday afternoon. The Rahn car a small sedan was proceeding north on Mount Hope street and was just in the center of the intersection, it is alleged when a large touring car, owned by F. Brown and driven by I.R. Gilles, both of Stratford, which was proceeding west on Park street, struck the Rahn car squarely in the centre badly injuring Mrs. Rahn and inflicting injuries less serious on the three other occupants of the car. The Rahn car was wrecked. Following the accident Mrs. Rahn was taken to her home and was admitted to the K-W hospital the next afternoon, where it was learned that she was suffering from a fractured pelvis and other internal injuries. Her condition gradually became more serious.

      The sudden passing of Mrs. Rahn was a shock to her many friends and acquaintances. Possessed of a kind and genial disposition the deceased had won for her a very large circle of friends. Surviving are her husband, one son, Robert at home, one step-brother Norman Sass, out west, and one step sister Mrs. Harold Strome, of Kitchener. An inquest will be held on Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock in the city hall, Kitchener. The funeral announcements will be made later.
