PETER SIMONIS - Stevens Point Daily Journal Mrs. Peter Simonis of Blackwell, Forest county, formerly Miss Martha Betker of the town of Alban, this county, passed away at her home at the former place last Sunday morning from injuries sustained on the Thursday previous. Mrs. Simonis was returning home from Laona, on a motor car that makes regular trips to the two places, when as the car rounded a curve in the track, another was seen approaching in the opposite direction. As both were going at a good rate of speed, to stop was impossible and the occupants saw that jumping was their only means of escape. All but Mrs. Simonis got off the car in safety, but she was thrown violently to the ground when her clothing caught in the car. The injuries she sustained caused much suffering and death came as a great relief. Mrs. Simonis was about thirty years of age and is survived by her husband and five small children. For many years Mr. and Mrs. Simonis lived in the town of Alban, in which town her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Betker, reside, and the body was brought there on Tuesday for burial. The funeral was held at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning from the Catholic Church.
