Mrs. William (Barbara) Jarrard, 29, and Mrs. Eldon (Diane) Jarrard, 31, wives of cousins and close neighbors were killed in a crash that saw bicycles they were riding struck from the rear. The two ladies along with William Jarrard, carrying their youngest daughter, Krista, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Huff, with Mr. Huff pedaling their son, Charles Jr., Danny Jarrard and Kathy Jarrard were traveling east on the south edge of Highway 22 west of the Junction of 22 and 405 just northwest of the town limits. The two young women were riding abreast at the end of the line of seven bicycles and were just west of the drive into the Benjamin Jondle farm on, the north side of the road. They were struck from the rear by a 1957 Chevrolet allegedly, driven by Dennis DeCosteau, 20, of West Liberty. Both women died at the scene of the accident which took place at approximately 8:15 in the evening. None of the others in the group received physical injuries as they were riding at various intervals ahead of the victims. DeCosteau was charged with drunken driving as the result of the accident on the straight stretch of blacktop highway and was free on bond of $500 as the investigation continued. A physician from Lone Tree as well as an ambulance from Lone Tree was called immediately to the scene. In a matter of a few minutes Iowa Highway Patrolmen, Officers from the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office as well as State Safety Commissioner William Sueppel began to arrive to start the investigation. A number of men, from the Lone Tree area handled traffic which began to accumulate as word of the tragedy spread. Combined funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2:00 p.m., in the Lone Tree school auditorium with the Reverend Jerry Brown of the New Sharon Methodist Church, and formerly of this community, in charge. Sorden and Adams of Lone Tree were in charge of arrangements. Pallbearers for Mrs. William Jarrard were Larry Hoke, Lloyd Burr, Jr., Robert Carpenter, Wilbur Huff, Donald Hanks, and Bueford Martin.
