Boys Taught A Lesson
Six north side boys were taken into custody by the police this afternoon on the charge of disorderly conduct. They had been caught in the act of creating a disturbance on High street, making all kinds of noise Saturday night. Officer Richter spoke to them but they paid no attention to his warning and began to raise a disturbance after the officer had allowed them to go. Henry Barwick, Lawrence Larsen, Fred Bark and Edward Rudat were each fined $3 and costs, the other two being allowed to go on account of their age.

Probe Reveals Crash Details
Auto Hit While Turning Into Driveway Near Union Grove.
Investigation by Coroner E.B. Yanny and members of the sheriff’s department of an accident in which Mrs. Larson, wife of Louis Larson, also known as Ludwig Larson, was killed yesterday afternoon near Union Grove, revealed that the auto in which they were riding was being driven into the driveway leading to the farm of James Larson on Highway 11.
Another car operated by Arthur Dibble, of Antioch, Ill., following the Larson car struck the Union Grove man’s auto, causing it to topple over onto its side. In the crash, the door of the auto opened and Mrs. Larson was thrown out, and pinned beneath the car.
A third auto, preceding the Larson car, had turned into the James Larson driveway and its driver witnessed the accident. Mrs. Larson was the only person to suffer injuries. Some damage resulted to both cars.

Returning From Wife’s Funeral.
Mr. Dibble was returning from a northern city where his wife had been buried. He was bringing an aunt, Mrs. Rathe, of Manitowoc to Racine.
Accompanying Mr. Larson, besides his wife were Mrs. Elner Erickson and Mrs. Harry Erickson.
Deputy sheriffs were called at 6:40 last night to Highway 41 a mile south of Highway 20 where deputies found that a truck with semi-trailer driven by S. Tweeth, 426 Madison street, Eau Claire, Wis., and an auto operated by G.M. Smith, Route 2, Box 169, Racine, had collided.
Mr. Smith was driving east on a gravel road at the time of the collision. Riding in the Smith car were Mrs. Peter Soloniski and her four children who live on the Smith farm. One of the daughters suffered leg and head bruises and the others sustained bruises.

Funeral Friday.
Mrs. Larson, who was one of the oldest members of the Baptist church in Union Grove, is survived by her husband; two sons, Arnold, Desplaines, Ill., and Lawrence, San Antonio, Tex.; six daughters, Mrs. Al James, Pensacola, Fla., Mrs. Frank LaBudde, Milwaukee, Mrs. Glen Fadner, Mrs. L.P. Monk, Mrs. Elna Linton, and Grace Larson of Racine and 18 grandchildren.

Mrs. Hannah Christine Larsen
Mrs. Hannah Christine Larsen, wife of Ludwig Larsen of Union Grove, WI, was born in the neighborhood of Ringsted, Sjelland, Denmark, March 5, 1864. She was instantly killed Tuesday afternoon, September 17, 1935, when an automobile driven by Arthur Wibble of Antioch, IL, struck the Larsen car from the rear as Mr. Larsen was turning into the driveway at the John Larsen home east of the village of Union Grove.
Mrs. Larsen came to the Raymond community in her eighteenth year. At Christmas time in 1884 she yielded her heart to the Lord Jesus and shortly thereafter united with the Union Grove Baptist Church upon her confession of faith. She remained a staunch and faithful member all her days, highly esteemed as a devoted Christian among all her acquaintances. She was especially interested and active in the ladies organization of the church. She served as treasurer of the Mission Circle for many years, as well as in other official capacities.

Rev. Albert Swensen of Defiance, a former pastor and personal friend of the family read the obituary and paid a personal tribute to the deceased. The Pastor H.C.
