Pulaski county’s first highway fatality of 1942 Thursday morning at two o’clock claimed the life of Kenneth Raymond REINHOLT, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy E. REINHOLT, of near Kewanna. The Kewanna youth was killed instantly by an auto while walking along a country road near Monterey. Driver of the auto which struck Reinholt was Herman HARTMAN, 20, a friend of Reinholt’s, who stated that lights from an oncoming auto blinded him and he did not see the youth at the side of the road until the accident occurred. Coroner Harry QUERRY, Medaryville, reported that Reinholt’s death was caused by a skull fracture and two fractured legs. Reinholt’s early-morning walk was caused by the report of an auto accident in which a friend, Glen SIMPSON, of Knox, was involved. Reinholt and Winfred HARTMAN, brother of the driver of the car which killed Reinholt, went to investigate the accident and when they arrived at the scene, they found that Simpson had already left in another auto. The two youths and several others succeeded in righting Simpon’s vehicle back on the highway. Reinholt attempted to drive his friend’s auto back to Monterey, but had gone only a short distance when the car stalled. He then was forced to walk on to Monterey, when he was struck. Surviving the Kewanna youth are the parents, three brothers, Darrell [REINHOLT], Robert [REINHOLT] and Gene [REINHOLT]; six sisters, Virginia [REINHOLT], Lucille [REINHOLT], Phyllis [REINHOLT], Wilma [REINHOLT], Maxine [REINHOLT] and Ruth Ann [REINHOLT]; and the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry REINHOLT, near Monterey; and Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence HOOVER, near Pulaski. Funeral rites will be held from the St. Ann’s Catholic church at Monterey, 9:30 o’clock Saturday morning. Rev. Leo BREITENBACH will officiate and burial will be made in the St. Ann’s cemetery, near Monterey.
