Two Killed by Auto Near Algona in Fatal Wreck
John B Besch and his eight year old son August were killed when their auto overturned on a low grade near their Algona area home. Besch, about forty, died instantly as the vehicle toppled and crushed his neck. The boy died smothered beneath him as the top came off. A neighbor tried to aid, but both deaths were immediate. The family, including a 15 year old son and others, were returning from a hay field toward Whittemore. Burial services were held at Whittemore with Catholic and Presbyterian ministers officiating. Mrs. Besch, left a widow with several children, received wide community sympathy.
