FORMER RESIDENTS IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Mr. and Mrs. O. S. Penrod and children, who formerly lived in Rensselaer where Mr. Penrod was manager of the Columbia furniture factory for a time, met with an auto accident a few miles north of Shelby July 4, while returning to Chicago after a visit here, at Lafayette and Remington. Mrs. Penrod was driving their Paige car and met another car on quite a high grade. In turning out to let the car pass their car slipped off the grade and overturned in quite a deep ditch, which was partially concealed by tall weeds at the side. Mrs. Penrod was quite badly injured, it w’as thought, but the others of the party were but little hurt. Mrs. Penrod was taken to Crown Point where her injuries were looklooked after, the extent of which had not been ascertained here at this writing. Mrs. Penrod is a feister of James H. Gilbert of Remington.
