Sheriff Joe Schafer said this morning that neither driver was blamed for the accident and that it was due to heavy dust on the highway. A car driven by Schrag collided with a truck driven by Tennis Tennison of Lind. Tennison's truck was following closely behind another truck and the dust raised by the first vehicle evidently obscured Schrag's vision of the second truck as he met it on the highway. So terrific was the impact of the collision that the heavy truck was overturned and the Schrag car almost completely demolished. The bed of the truck virtually sheared off the left-hand side of the body of Schrag's auto. First aid was given Schrag by an Odessa doctor and he was rushed to Spokane in an ambulance. Funeral services have been set for Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Menno church, 20 miles west of Ritzville. Mr. Schrag is survived by his mother, Mrs. Mary Schrag, Ritzville; two brothers, William, Ritzville; Benjamin, Spokane; and two sisters, Mrs. Minnie Thomas, Spokane and Mrs. Elma Elmer of Yakima. Schrag had been visiting at the Ed Kiesz farm near Batum and was returning to his home about 18 miles west of Ritzville on the old Neppel road when the accident occurred. The trucks were heading for the Schafer ranch to pick up a load of scrap iron. _____________________ Ritzville Journal-Times, Thursday, June 29, 1939 Hold Funeral Services For Mr. Schrag Funeral services for Ralph Schrag, 36, farmer who was fatally injured in an automobile accident last Wednesday, were held Saturday afternoon at the Menno Mennonite church, 19 miles west of here, with the Rev.
