She had been in failing health several years. Ford told police that he was changing the tire for about 20 minutes and when he opened the car door to return to the driver's seat, he found his wife either dead or unconscious. He flagged a passing motorist who summoned an ambulance. Born at Hedrick Mrs. Ford spent most of her life in Warren County. Her maiden name was Downey.
