Survivors include his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Stibrol, Akron; a sister, Mrs. Arlene Hughes, Akron and a brother, Larry, of Sioux City. ------------------------------------------------------ Newspaper article about the tragic accident: Three young Akron high school students lost their lives In a near head-on collision one mile south of Chatsworth, Thursday, Feb. 14 at 8:50 p.m. and a fourth young man died a short time later at the Akron hospital. Mrs. Cheryl Pageler, 24, of Craig the only survivor of the tragic accident remains in critical condition at St. Joseph Mercy hospital, Sioux City. Dead at the scene were Frederick W. Talbott, 16, son of Mr. and Mrs. Don Talbott and William J. Stibral, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Stribral, both of Akron, and Curtis G. Cornish, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Don Cornish of rural Ireton. All three were students at the Akron Community high school. Jerald L. Ryan, 22, Rock Valley, brother of Mrs. Gene Waag of Akron, died a. short time later at the Akron hospital. Ryan was the driver of the 1969 Chevrolet owned by Cheryl and Vernon Pagelar of Craig. The Akron police department and the Akron ambulance received a call from a passerby arriving on the scene at approximately 9 p.m. The crash occurred on a straight and level stretch of Iowa highway 12 a mile south of Chatsworth only five-eighths of a mile into Plymouth, county. The 1963 Rambler owned and driven by young Talbott was northbound and the 1969 Chevrolet driven by Ryan was southbound, when the latter vehicle apparently crossed over the center of the road and collided with the left front corner of the northbound car, according to Iowa State trooper Bill Wruck of Le Mars, one of the investigating officers. The Talbott vehicle went into the east ditch, with motor remaining in the center of the road, the car was sheered in two, while the other car remained on the highway, also completely demolished. The Akron ambulance brought the occupants of the Pagelar car to the Akron hospital. Mrs. Pagelar was then transferred by the same ambulance to the Sioux City hospital. The Hawarden ambulance was called and took the bodies of the students to the Schroeder funeral home in Akron. Investigating officers on the scene were Marv Powell of the Akron police department and followed by deputy sheriff Dennis Osterbuhr and highway patrol trooper William Wruck. Sheriff Ed Guntren and Plymouth county medical examiner Dr. Sherman Lindell arrived on the scene a short time later. Trooper William Wruck stated this was the most bizarre accident he has investigated in his nine years as trooper. Funeral rites for the four young men were held Sunday and Monday of this week.
