According to relatives the terrible tragedy which snuffed out the lives of 8 persons occurred when they were returning home from a dance. The car in which Mr. and Mrs. Applehoff and two other couples were riding stopped to give assistance to a stalled machine. Thinking to lighten the weight of their car and make it less difficult to push the standing vehicle, two passengers were transferred to the latter car. As they slowly began moving, a large Tri-State truck coming from the rear struck them with such force that 4 persons were instantly killed, 2 passed away shortly after while the other 2 lingered until Friday. The 2 passenger cars were completely demolished.

Surviving in her immediate family is her father, one brother and 3 sisters. The truck driver was not hurt and his machine was undamaged.
