Mrs. J. Dosher Dies as Result of Car Wreck

Her Auto Collides with Truck Near Jena on Monday

Mrs. John Dosher, 24, of Lake Charles, who was injured near Jena Monday in an auto-truck crash, died at the Baptist Hospital in Alexandria at 8:30 o'clock that night and her body was conveyed to her home in Lake Charles where funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon.

Mrs. Dosher with her three small daughters was enroute from her home in Lake Charles to visit her husband's mother, Mrs. R. H. Dosher who resides in Jena. Upon reaching the home of S. H. Finley between Trout and White Sulphur Springs, the car met a gravel truck driven by Vernon Owens, an employee of the Hearin & Brown Company, Baton Rouge contractors.

The truck and automobile collided completely wrecking the Chevrolet driven by Mrs. Dosher and turning the gravel truck over. Mrs. Dosher, as well as her three small daughters, was given first aid in Mr. Finley's home, after which the ambulance of Kinner & Stevens was called and she was conveyed to the Alexandria Hospital.

The injured woman suffered a fractured skull and other injuries, her death being attributed to the fracture and to the shock occasioned by the collision. The little girls were not seriously injured and were brought to their grandmother's home after being given first aid. The truck driver was badly shaken up and suffered body bruises, but nothing of a serious nature according to the attending physician.

It is believed that Mrs. Dosher lost control of her car due to the loose gravel at this point in the road.

She is survived by her husband, John Dosher, formerly of Jena; three daughters, her mother, Mrs. A. W. Stewart; two sisters, Mrs. Tom Clark and Mrs. A. O. Broussard and one uncle, Lee L. Watkins all of Lake Charles.
