Burial was in the Ritzville cemetery. The Rev. R. Kirschenmann officiated at the double funeral. Mr. Stromberger and Janis were driving to Sprague from his ranch northwest of there, when his truck was struck by the first section of the east bound North Coast Limited about 8:30 a.m. at a crossing about one mile west of Sprague. State Patrolman Bob Denslow, who investigated the accident, said Stromberger's vision was evidently obscured by a snowstorm raging at the time and that the train was traveling at high speed since it was two hours late. Mr. Stromberger was almost across the track when the train hit the rear end of his truck, tossing it nearly 150 feet from the crossing and evidently throwing both he and his daughter out of the cab. Wreckage was strew along the rails for nearly 500 feet. Jacob Strombergers, age 58, was born June 9, 1884 at Kolb, Russia. He was married in 1903 to Anna Elizabeth Benzel, a sister of Henry Benzel of Ritzville. To this union were born 19 children, 11 of who are still living. Mr. and Mrs. Stromberger came to the United States in 1911 and the have lived between Sprauge and Ritzville along Crab creek since that time. Janis Stromberger, 11-year-old, was born at Sprague, March 15, 1932 and was a student in the fifth grade of Sprague schools. Besides his widow, Mr. Stromberger is survived by four sons, Arthur, Solomon and Daniel, all of Sprague, and Lawrence, in the armed forces; and seven daughters, Mrs. William Eggers of Walla Walla; Mrs. Glenn Wilson of Deer Park; Mrs. John Fries of Bremerton; Mrs. Ronald Smith of Sprague; Miss Hanna Stromberger of Walla Walla and Olga and Evelyn at the home; one brother, Peter of Ritzville; and two sisters, Mrs. Samuel Schafer and Mrs. Chris Rieker both of Ritzville; and five grandchildren.
