• Notes

  Brooklyn Man Is Killed In Collision Harry Hook, 71, Brooklyn, was killed Tuesday night when his car collided with a semi-trailer truck 4 miles south of Oregon on Highway 14. Mr. Hook was killed instantly, according to Dr. David C. Atwood, Dane county coroner. The truck had started to pass a car and house trailer when Mr. Hook's car rounded the curve just ahead of the truck, according to witnesses. The car driven by Mr. Hook was demolished by the impact, which drove it partly under the trailer. It struck the trailer's rear wheels, shearing them partially off. The truck, owned by the Brady T and S Truck Co., was driven by Eugene W. Von Bank, Ft. Dodge, Ia., who was uninjured. He was hauling several tons of lobster from Chicago to Minneapolis. Mr. Hook was driving home, according to Robert Hickman and Emil Schmale, Dane county traffic officers, who investigated. Mr. Hook is survived by his wife and two sons, Leslie, Brooklyn, and Ansel, Cambridge. Source: newspaper article, no name or date given.
