  _P_CCINFO 2-14330 From THE LEIGH (NE.) WORLD, August 15, 1947 - William Richard, five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Edw. Dasenbrock, of Richmond, California, met death in an automobile near Wasatch, Wyoming, August 8, 1947. Announcement of the little boy’s death, which occurred about 3:30, conveyed in a telephone message from Mr. Dasenbrock to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dasenbrock of Leigh, the same evening. Accompanying the Dasenbrocks were their small daughter, Patricia Marie, and Mrs. Dasenbrock’s mother and sister, Mrs. Harry Geiger and Jackie of Odgen, Utah. They were enroute home after a week’s visit at Leigh with relatives, the Dasenbrock families and Mrs. Geiger’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gerd Asche. The accident occurred when a rear tire on the Dasenbrock car blew out. Eye witnesses said the car turned over twice into a ditch. Examination after the accident revealed a front tire also had blown out. The little boy, sitting on the front seat with his parents, was next to a window which was open, crushed beneath the car when it overturned. He lived only a few minutes after being taken from the wreckage. The occupants escaped with minor bruises. The remains were taken to a funeral home in nearby Evanston, Wyoming, and were sent to Columbus. They were brought to the Holmes Funeral home. They were accompanied by the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dasenbrock, and her father, Harry Geiger, of Ogden. Mrs. Geiger and Jackie went on to Ogden, 75 miles distant, following the accident, taking with them the baby daughter of the Dasenbrocks. "Billy Dick," as he was affectionately known, was born at Leigh, October 10, 1941, and had reached the age of 5 years, 9 months and 28 days. When he was two years old his parents moved to California. Funeral rites were conducted by Rev. Karl Gigstad, from the home of the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dasenbrock, at 1:30 o’clock. Two hymns, Jesus Loves Me and Safe in the Arms of Jesus were sung by Norma Neuhaus, Jeanette Hobel, and Marlene Held, with accompaniment by Mrs. Theodore Mrstny. Flower bearers were Linda Ann Luchsinger, Jean Dasenbrock and Mesdames Edw. Ehlers, Marvin Weber. W.C. Deichman and Marjorie Mackenstadt. Pallbearers were four uncles, Herbert Dasenbrock, of Creston, Maurice and Elmer Dasenbrock of Leigh and Walter Geiger of Schuyler. Honorary bearers were cousins, Wilbur and Richard Dasenbrock of Creston, Dean Houfek of Leigh and John Luchsinger of Richland. Burial was in the Leigh cemetery. Survivors are the parents and the baby sister, Patricia Marie. [ColfaxDeutschlandPlatte.FBK.FTW] From THE LEIGH (NE.) WORLD, August 15, 1947 - William Richard, five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Edw.
