Halupnick, died about 1:15 p m. Sunday in St. Thomas hospital at Marshalltown as the result of injuries suffered twelve hours earlier in an automobile accident on Highway 96 in east Marshall county, about eight miles west of Gladbrook. At first it was thought that the Traer girl, one of four young people involved in the accident, was not seriously hurt. Her death came unexpectedly as a result of internal injuries. Miss Halupnick was returning home from Marshalltown about 1 a. m Sunday in company with Eldon Harms, Wilbur Conrad, and Miss Dorothy Ploen, all of Gladbrook. Miss Ploen is a sister of Elvertus Ploen, who operates the D-X service station in Traer. The two couples had been spending the evening in Marshalltown. Miss Halupnick was driving a 1927 sedan owned by Harms, who was riding with her in the front seat. Suddenly she lost control of the car— probably as the result of the blowout of a rear tire which was found to be flat after the accident—and it plunged down a ten-foot embankment near the site of the new bridge constructed only a few months ago to replace the famous “zig-zag” bridge that was the cause of so many auto accidents in years past. Most or all of the occupants were thrown out of the car. First to reach the scene were Mr. and Mrs. Donald Berger, of Marshalltown, who were on their way home from Gladbrook. Mrs. Berger is a cousin of Miss Ploen, one of the passengers of the wrecked car, and they took her to a nearby farmhouse, occupied by the E. B. Stokely family, where she summoned an ambulance from Marshalltown. Later Sunday the accident was investigated by Dr. Rodney C. Wells, Marshall county coroner, and H. W. Jennings, sheriff, who said the blowout of the rear tire seemed the most likely cause. After rolling down the steep embankment the car came to rest on its wheels, straddling a fence and heading in the opposite direction from which it had been traveling. It was badly damaged. Miss Halupnick died following internal hemorrhages, according to the coroner’s report. None of the others in the accident was injured seriously enough to require hospitalization. Harms, who said he was asleep when the mishap occurred, suffered severe head cuts, and Conrad suffered a twisted knee. Miss Ploen was virtually unhurt. Margaret Halupnick, whose parents moved to Traer from Howard township only three months ago, was born July 12, 1920, on the Crystal township farm seven and one-half miles southwest of town where Leonard Halupnick now lives. She attended the Tama county rural schools and had worked out a part of the time but had been staying at home of late. She was a member of the Traer Catholic church. She is survived, besides her parents, by five sisters, Miss Marie Halupnick, of Cedar Rapids; Mrs. Marvin Richmond, Dysart; Mrs. Marvin Kuba, Cedar Rapids; Dorothy, an employee of the Thomas & Thomas law office in Traer; and Barbara, at home; and two brothers. Leonard Halupnick, near Traer, and Stanley, of Howard township. She was the first child in the family to be taken by death. The funeral, at St. Paul’s Catholic church here Wednesday morning was attended by one of the largest crowds ever seen at a similar service in Traer. The auditorium and basement were filled, and many persons were unable to gain admission to the building. Because of the illness of Rev. Father John Richards, pastor, the funeral was conducted by Father Fagan of Marshalltown. Burial was in St. Vaclav cemetery, west of Clutier. Casket bearers were Frank Novotny, Ernest Halupnik, Milo Halupnick, Joe Sevcik, Frank Sevcik, and Alfred Halupnick, all cousins of the deceased.
