W.C. JENSEN KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT The funeral of Mrs. J.U. Leonard, mother of Mrs. W.C. Jensen of White Salmon, was held in Hood River Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Leonard was killed in an auto accident last Sunday evening near her home at Moro, Oregon. Her husband, who was unconscious for several days, is in the hospital at The Dalles with several broken ribs. The accident occurred on a turn when their car collided with another after sideswiping a truck and trailer which may have been crowding the highway. Traffic officers blamed no one for the accident. A lady in the other car had her jaw broken, and the truck driver also suffered injuries. ------------------------ The Hood River News, Hood River, OR., June 11, 1937, page 11 MARY B.
