Mrs. M. Kaliski Fatally Injured In Car Wreck

Sister of Miss Nettie and Mr. Julian Bernstein

Mrs. Marcus Kaliski of Monroe, sister of Miss Nettie Bernstein and Mrs. Julian
Bernstein of Winnfield was fatally injured in a car accident on the Dixie
Overland highway, three miles east of Ruston last Monday when the car in which
she was riding overturned.

Mrs. Kaliski, a member of the Barkdull Faulk School faculty of Monroe and
three other teachers were on their way from Monroe to Louisiana Polytechnic
Institute to observe a progressive education course at that institution.  Mrs.
Will Duncan of Monroe was driving the car, according to Coroner H. N. Harper
of Lincoln Parish, who said the accident was caused by the driver's
endeavoring to bring the car back on the pavement after one of the front
wheels had dropped to the shoulder of the road.

The machine was said to have gone out of control, hit the railing of the left
side of the highway, bounced back to the railing on the right side and
overturned.

Mrs. Kaliski was believed to have suffered a fractured skull.  She died before
she could be rushed to a hospital.

Two of the other teachers were hurt.  Miss Lila Moore of Monroe was the more
seriously injured.  She received back and arm injuries and a gash on the
forehead.  Mrs. Duncan of Monroe was suffering principally from shock,
although one of her arms was hurt.  Mrs. Jessie Cranberry escaped with minor
injuries.

Funeral services for Mrs. Kaliski were conducted at the Peters Funeral Home
in Monroe Tuesday afternoon at 5:30.  Dr. Heinberg read the ritual.  Interment
was in the Jewish Cemetery at Monroe.  A large crowd of friends and relatives
attended the last rites and the many beautiful floral offerings attested to
the esteem in which the deceased was held.

Mrs. Kaliski, who was before her marriage Miss Rosalie Bernstein, was born in
Montgomery, La.  She was sixty years of age.  She went to live in Monroe in
1896, where she has been a teacher for the past forty years in the city
schools of Monroe.  She was well known in Winnfield where she visited quite
often.

Besides her widower, Marcus Kaliski, for many years prominent in the jewelry
business in Monroe, she is survived by one daughter, Mrs. F. M. Goldsmith of
N. O., three brothers, Mayor Arnold Bernstein and Rudolph Bernstein of Monroe,
Julian Bernstein of Winnfield; a sister, Miss Nettie Bernstein of Winnfield;
an aunt, Mrs. Minna Marx of Winnfield; and two nephews, Milling and Henry,
Jr., Bernstein, of Monroe.
