NORGAARD CAR WRECKED BY ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE. Accident in which Norgaard family suffered death and injury caused by a drunken driver.
Details just received from California of the automobile accident of two weeks ago, in which Mrs. D. W. [sic.] BEARD, daughter of Mrs. Anna NORGAARD of Gypsum, was killed, and her mother-in-law, Mrs. James BEARD, seriously injured, and Ejnaar NORGAARD's two little daughters, Gloria and Donna, also injured, state that their car was hit by a high-powered car being driven by a drunken man at the rate of sixty miles an hour.
The driver of the death car was injured and the physicians attending him testified that he had been drinking and police found a one-half gallon jug and a quart bottle full of whiskey in his car after the accident.
Mrs. James BEARD is still in a serious condition, but it is thought she will recover from her injuries. Four of her ribs were broken and three cracked, while she also suffered bad bruises.
The two children, Gloria and Donna, have fully recovered from their injuries, while Ejnaar Norgaard and Wylie Beard, also riding in the wrecked car at the time of the accident, were only slightly injured.
Mrs. Reymore BEARD, who was killed, has been laid to rest in one of California's most beautiful spots, "Forest Lawn Memorial Park" where she had expressed a wish to be buried.
The NORGAARD and BEARD families have the most sincere sympathy of their old friends and neighbors living in Eagle county in this sad affair.
