JASON WOODBY DIES IN AUTO CRASH

   Jason Woodby, 54, of Flint, was fatally injured Saturday when the 
automobile he was driving left the highway, crashed into a guard rail and then 
plunged into a 10 foot gully just north of Freeland on US-10. Sheriff Hugo 
Muehlenbeck, of Saginaw, and Sheriff Ira Smith, of Midland, investigated. It 
is believed Woodby suffered a slight stroke causing the accident. Mrs. Woodby 
suffered severe-cuts and Mrs. Lee Fenton, an ankle injury. Mr. Fenton's 13-
month-old baby was uninjured. The women were treated at the Midland General 
hospital and released. Mrs. Woodby was taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. 
Charles Brown here, and Mrs. Fenton returned to her home in Flint. Mr. Woodby 
was rushed to the hospital, but died before admittance.
   Mr. Woodby was well known in Gladwin county having lived here many years 
before moving to Flint about twenty years ago. Funeral services for Jason 
Woodby were conducted at 1 p.m. at the Bradley funeral home in Midland and at 
2:30 p.m. at the Dale Methodist Church, with the Rev. E. H. Longman 
officiating. Burial was in the Dale cemetery. Mr.Woodby was born December 22, 
1884, in North Carolina, and moved to Michigan with his parents when a small 
child. For the past 20 years Mr. and Mrs. Jason Woodby have lived in Flint 
where he was employed by the Buick Motor Company.

cared for from infancy, Miss Eva Leen Bardwell and Mrs. Iva Fenton, of Flint;
