WITT IS FATALLY INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENT Last Rites For Prominent Farmer of Portland Township Tuesday Alfred Witt, prominent farmer of Portland township, living east of town, was fatally injured last Friday afternoon in an auto accident while attending the Tom Heath auction sale, northeast of town. A large number of autos were parked along both sides of the road adjacent to the farm yard, Mr. Witt's among them. He had gone out to place in his car some articles he had bough at the sale. Just then Kenneth Johnson, who lived northwest of town, drove over the crest of a hill from the south, and as he swerved his car to avoid another that was starting to back out, his auto skidded on the slippery road, brushed against two or three other parked cars, and then crashed in Mr. Witt's car, catching him between them. He sustained a fractured skull and severe body injuries. Mr. Witt, unconscious, was rushed to the Akron Hosppital, where every possible was done for him, but to no avail, and he passed away at 6:45 o'clock Saturday morning. Sheriff Frank Scholer, of Le Mars, was notified of the accident, and he, with Deputy Sheriff Leo Hentges and highway patrolmen, came to investigate circumstances surrounding it. Alfred Arthur Witt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Witt, was born February 18, 1900, near Akron, Iowa. He was baptied and confirmed in Trinity Lutheran church here. On September 7, 1927, he was joined in holy wedlock with Miss Maidie Schmidt. This union was blessed with two daughters. Mr. Witt has engaged in farming here all his life. He was honest and upright in all his dealings, industrious and highly esteemed by all who knew him. His sad and untimely death brings sorrow and sadness to the entire community, with an outpouring of deep sympathy to those near and dear to him. Besides his wife and two daughters, Dorothy Mae and Marlys Lavon; his mother, Mrs. Mary Witt, of Akron; three brothers, Henry, Albert, and Reinhold Witt, of Akron, and three sisters, Mrs. Herman Reemts, and Mrs. Jesse Kallsen, of Akron, and Mrs. John Harms, of Le Mars. He was preceded in death by his father, Albert Witt, a few years ago. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon, at 1;30 o'clock at the home and at 2 o'clock in Trinity Lutheran church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Fred A. Meske. There was a large attendance. Pallbearers were nephews of the deceased: Wesley Witt, Lloyd Witt, Clarence Kallsen, Embert Klemme, Marvin Klemme, and Kenneth Klemme. Interment was in Riverside cemetery.
