Irene Seager was tragically killed in an auto accident in 1929. The Box Elder Murual read, "Fatal Accident on State Road - Mrs. Howard Andreason Dies from Injuries in Auto Collision. Mrs. Irene Seager Andreason, 33, wife of Howard Andreason of Elwood, was fatally injured at 10:30 o'clock, Wednesday night, when the car in which she was riding rolled down the embankment on the highway, four mileswest of this city after colliding with a car driven by Joseph Robinson of Fielding. Mrs. Andreason died while being removed to the Pearse hospital in this city. In the car with Mrs. Andreason were her husband, 6 year old daughter, andher 7 month old baby. Mr. Andreason and the baby were cut and bruised, but the little girl escaped injury. The injured parties were taken to the hospital by Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Clive who drove up after the accident. According to Dr. Pearse, Mrs. Andreason had the left side of her chest badly crushed, her pelvis bone broken, and was otherwise cut and bruised. The body was removed to the Deseret Mortuary in this city. According to Sheriff John H. Zundel, who made an investigation, Mr. Robinson and daughter were driving east in a Marmon touring car. Immediately east of the cement bridge over the slough on the highway, he suddenly observed a wagon with a hayrack just ahead and being unable to stop hiscar, drove around the left side. Here he met the Andreason car, which was proceeding west. The left front wheels of the cars collided and the force of theimpact threw the Andreason car over the embankment where it turned over severaltimes. Mr. Marenus Olsen of this city was driving the hayrack and witnessed the accident. Mrs. Andreason was born Dec. 6, 1896, at Logan, a daughter of Orin A. Seager and Mary Robinson Seager. Surviving are her husband and eight children. Funeral services will be held Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Elwood ward chapel."
