Iowa Briefs: Injuries, Fires, and Friendly Encounters
George Van Houten of Everly learns his neck injury from a June automobile crash requires a six to eight week cast. Dor Miller and wife await moving into their new Harlan home, which burned during construction. Sergeant Lindsa Henderson and Archie Mahoney, once friends in France, meet again in Denison after separate demobilization. Norman van den Baard, 18, healing from a .22 wound at an Oskaloosa hospital, was shot by Gary Vriezlaar, 14, with the bullet passing through into his stomach. In Remsen, infant Jeffrey Wiebersch survives rat bites to his hand, as the family, housed in an old bakery building, endures rodent trouble.
