Autoists on way to Pacific Coast meet meet with accident
Burgess F. E. Beachley and party left for the Pacific Coast in a Nash sedan two weeks ago. A puncture on a newly paved Western Ohio road caused the car to overturn. Mrs. Beachley’s wrist was cut, Mrs. Koogle’s shoulder sprained, and Regina Beachley was slightly cut. Repairs would delay about ten days, cancelling the remainder of the trip for Mrs. Koogle and Regina, who went by train to Chicago and then to Los Angeles. The Beachleys will repair the car and resume later, visiting relatives in Ohio before returning East.
