Lake Odessa Wave & Times - July 20, 1933
A COLLISON ON M-43 TAKES LIFE OF WOMAN
                             --------------------
MRS. ORVILLE SHELLENBARGER, DAUGHTER-IN-LAW OF JULIUS SHELLENBARGER OF LAKE ODESSA
                             --------------------
   Mrs. Orville Shellenbarger, a daughter-in-law of Julius Shellenbarger of Lake
Odessa, who was injured 
Saturday night in a collision, died Sunday morning at Pennock hospital, Hastings. 
Mr. and Mrs. Shellenbarger, 
their two children, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lepley, their neighbors, who had been to
Hastings with the 
former's team and wagon, were returning to their home four miles north of Hastings. 
When within two miles 
of their home they were struck by a truck on M-43, driven by Eldon Farrell of
Woodland, but who conducts a 
feed store at Hastings.
   All were returning to their homes when the accident occurred.  It is stated that
there was no light on the 
wagon and that coming over a hill the wagon was not seen until too late to avoid the
collision.
   Mr. Shellenbarger was cut and bruised as were the children but Mr. and Mrs.
Lepley  were not seriously 
injured.
   Mr. Shellenbarger was formerly Miss Della Sawdy, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Edward Sawdy of Woodland, 
and had always lived in that locality.
   The funeral was held at the Woodland U. B. church, the pastor Rev. Verne
Beardsley officiating.  Burial was 
at Lakeside cemetery.
