Jacob Kornelius Klassen and his wife Tina Bargen were killed in an auto accident on 7 August 1958 in Aldergrave. They were buried in Clearbrook. Is is possible to get newspaper clippings about the accident and/or obituaries for them? Alene

There are no Tina KLASSEN - listed - There are no Tina Bargen listed in the Govt Vital Index. Deaths. A thought: The Funeral Director/Funeral Home - that handled the arrangements - may still have copies of all information taken - including information taken for the obituary. Contacting them may be helpful to you. There may be a Coronors report to determine cause of death. 4 Name: JACOB KLASSEN Event Date: 1958 8 7 (Yr/Mo/Day) Age: 55 Gender: Male Event Place: SURREY Reg.

Hi Arlene, I managed to pick up death registrations for Jacob KLASSEN - and - Katharina KLASSEN( Parents Jacob BARGEN and Helena WALL. Was not able to search the Vancouver Papers today - all readers were busy . I will try again tomorrow (Saturday ) or at the latest on Monday. The Informant for these deaths - was Katharina KLASSENS (nee Bargen) brother Jacob W. Peters (?) If you are interested in the registrations - I can send them off to you. Just need a mail address. I usually search and hand copy the obituaries - unless there is one that really stands out. Most obits are very small - some filmed very badly or filmed from newspapers in poor condition. not really worth the 40 cents a copy that the machine charges. There is a death registration index for: Name: JACOB WILHELM PETERS Event Date: 1976 6 18 (Yr/Mo/Day) Age: 75 Gender: Male Event Place: CLEARBROOK Reg. Number: 1976-09-009859 B.C.
