John H. Schlosser, 79 of Kelsey highway, route two, Ionia, died at the Ionia 
County Memorial hospital Monday night at 8:15 as result of injuries received in

suffered a heart attack.

Schlosser was in an automobile accident about 5 p.m. at old US:6 and Kelsey

Officers said Schlosser was driving a car south on Kelsey highway approaching 
the intersection. The car went out of control and struck a telephone pole and 
tree about eight (several words could not make out) highway on US16. The car was 
a total loss.

A passenger, Charles Yocum, 47, of route two, Ionia, suffered slight cuts and 
bruises on the left side of the head. Both were taken to the hospital by

of his auto before the crash.

Schlosser had suffered a coronary attack previous to the accident and had died 
of a crushed chest and skull fracture.
