===============================================
Thursday, Jan 31, 1946 "Wray Gazette" newspaper

Dale Wells, 39, automobile dealer and business and community leader at
Wray, was killed instantly and State Patrolman Wallace McCarthy, 33,
also of Wray, was injured critically Tuesday in a head-on collision
near Hudson.  The men were returning from Denver in a highway patrol
car driven by McCarty when the machine collided with a truck driven by
John McDougal, 59, of Denver.  The truck driver has been jailed for
investigation.

Mr Wells was born at Goodland, Kansas June 25, 1906 and was 39 years,
7 months, and 8 days old at the time of his death.  He moved to
Burlington with his parents and on November 25, 1926 was married to
Lenna Muller, who with their five children survive: Gene 18, Armor 16,
Norma Jane 10, Dale Jr 8, and Jimmy nearly two years old.  Other
survivors are his mother, Mrs Alta Wells of Burlington and one
brother, Albert of Cozad, Nebraska.

In addition to being active in many civic organizations, Mr Wells was
an honored member of the Wray Christian Church, was a member of the
board of deacons, and a member of the building committee for the
church.  Funeral services were at the Christian Church Friday
conducted by Rev. E. Tilden Lewis, assisted by Rev. Louis Haruf.
