"Attend Rites at Chatsworth for Glenn Woodruff
Roberts, Nov 2 - Mr. and Mrs. Fred Woodruff and daughter, Miss Lila, Mrs. Charles Revell, Mrs. Alfred Dietterie, Mrs. James Shambrook and daughters Dorothy and Arlene, Mrs. Charles Peterson and Messrs Floyd Shambrook, Herbert Bradbury and Wesley Hawthorne were in Chatsworth on Thursday where they attended the funeral rites for Glenn Woodruff, 25, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Woodruff, of that place, who died at St. James Hospital, Pontiac, on Tuesday from injuries that he sustained the Saturday night before in a motor accident west of Gilman. The deceased, a nephew of Mr. Fred Woodruff, was well and favorably known in the Roberts community where he had been employed in farm work for several summers. He was injured when a car that he was driving upset on the hard road a short distance west of Gilman while he and another young man were enroute to their homes from Clifton. Mr. Woodruff was driving and his friend was asleep in the back seat. Both of the occupants were thrown through the top of the car and neiter were able to state what had happened. Following the accident Mr. Woodruff returned to his home in Chatsworth where he visited with his mother, who is ill and confined to her bed, before he retired in his own room. On the following day he became much worse and was removed to the hospital in Pontiac where it was determined that one of his lungs had been punctured by a rib that had been broken in the accident. Internal hemorrhages followed and were no doubt the cause of his sad death. Funeral services were held in the home and later in the Baptist church in Chatsworth after which the cortege moved to Roberts where entombment took place in Lyman cemetery. The Messers. Floyd Shambrook, Herbert Bradbury and Wesley Hawthorne, friends and close associates of the deceased in Roerts, were among those who served as pallbearers. The death of Mr. Woodruff is very sad, for he was a young man of splendid qualities."
