Some places have copies of their publications. You may find what you want at the Webb City Genealogical Society. Once they find it in their book, they may be able to find or have newspaper articles pertaining to the accident and deaths. I don't know how the book is set up. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mojasper/genie.html Webb City Library 101 S.
