Waynetown Aug 17 - Mrs. Fannie Schlosser, resident of Waynetown for the past 30 years died in a Noblesville hospital at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning of injuries received in an automobile accident two miles east of Noblesville Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Schlosser and her son Isaac and his family from Fremont, Ill had gone to Muncie for a visit and about 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon had started back to Waynetown. The party was driving west on St. Rd No. 33. Two miles east of Noblesville, they were struck by another machine driven by Clarence Marshall, a young farmer of near Noblesville, who was driving south on a side road at the time. Both cars were damaged but neither overturned. Mrs. Schlosser was sitting on the side of the machine which bore the impact of the collision. She was taken to the Noblesville hospital about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and died of her injuries Sunday morning. Other occupants of the two machines escaped injury. Because of the obstructed view at the crossing caused by adjacent cornfields, the accident was held to be unavoidable. Mrs. Schlosser was born on Feb 27, 1855 in Miami Co, Indiana the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Richer. 54 years ago she was married to Joseph Schlosser and to this union 4 daughters and 4 sons were born. Of these children there are surviving, Mrs. C.E. Holm of Muncie; Mrs. Elsie Walters of Indianapolis; Isaac Schlosser of Fremont, Ill; who had come with his family Thursday to visit Mrs. Schlosser at her home here; Lee Schlosser of Waynetown and Arthur Schlosser of Hillsboro. Six grandchildren, one great grandchild and one brother, M.T. Richer of Haynes City FL also survive. Mrs. Schlosser's husband die din 1919. The body was brought to the home here from Noblesville yesterday by John Shuler, local undertaker. The funeral will be held from the home at 2:30 o'clock p.m. Tuesday and burial will be in Masonic Cemetery at Waynetown.
