Obit For Ola (Pippin) Rose
Headline Washburn Woman Fatally Injured
Text #1. Injuries in a two car crash at the junction of Highways 37 and 86 south of town shortly after the noon hour Wednesday proved fatal for Mrs. Ola Rose, about 65 years of age of the Washburn community while she was enroute to a Springfield hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Rose, who were both in the car, were being taken to the hospital by Culver ambulance.

Seriously injured was Mrs. Dorothy Antle of Exeter, who is an employee of the Standard Mutual Insurance Co. here. She was taken to St. John's Hospital in Springfield by Williamson ambulance, suffering from a leg fracture, knee injuries, and a severe scalp laceration.

Mr. Rose was the least seriously injured with minor cuts and bruises. He was able to accompany Mrs. Rose to Springfield. She suffered crushing chest injuries.

Mrs. Antle was enroute home to Exeter from Cassville in a 1961 Mercury station wagon shown above, and apparently according to officers, the Rose vehicle, a 1956 Chevrolet, was attempting to cross the highway and enter the driveway at the welding shop on the northwest corner of the junction. The Antle vehicle struck the Rose car in the right side.
