Obituary: CRITICALLY HURT IN AUTO CRASH. Cummings Youth Near Death Following Accident South -west of Town. BULLETIN Everett Engeman died late this afternoon as a result of his injury.
Everett Engeman, 30 Cummings, was probably fatally injured early last night in a motor car accident southwest of Atchison. He was still unconscious at noon today in the Atchison hospital and attending physicians held but slight hopes for his recovery.
Engeman suffered a severe skull fracture when a motor car in which he was riding with Harry L. Clark, who lives in the Good Intent community crashed into a culvert on a dirt road southwest of town. Clark is thought to have been blinded by dust in passing another motor car. He is confined to his home with minor cuts and bruises.
The Clark car, a 1928 Model A Ford roadster, was practically demolished.(Src: The Atchison Daily Globe, July 23, 1936.)

Clark of the Good Intent community were en route from the Engeman farm to Atchison in Clark's car, a 1928 Model A Ford roadster to have the lights and generator of the machine repaired.
