BARBARA ANN LOESER
Car Overturns, Kills 2 Two Rivers Teenagers
Three Occupants of Car Bruised; Inquest Is Slated

Group Was Returning From Party North of City, Officers Report TWO RIVERS-With the New Year little more than a day old, a 19-year-old Two Rivers boy and his girl companion, 15, were killed instantly at 1 a.m Friday when their car overturned on a town road north of the city.
The dead were:
Leland F. Ignera, 1718 20th St., Two Rivers, and Barbara Loeser, Rt. 2, Two Rivers. Three other teenage girls who were riding in the back seat of Ignera's convertible were slightly bruised when it rolled into the ditch after making a turn from Tannery Road.

The girls couldn't tell exactly what happened, but from bits of information, county traffic officers pieced together the following story: Ingnera and the four girls were returning from a party north of Two Rivers, where they had spent the entire evening. The car had turned from Tannery Road to the town road and for some reason skidded off the opposite side into a ditch and rolled over.

2 Pinned Under Car
Dr. Teitgen said the bodies of Ignera and Miss Loeser, who was in the front seat with the driver, were pinned beneath the wreck. The three other girls were apparently thrown clear. Bruised and shaken, the surviving went to a neighboring farm house and called an emergency ambulance, but Dr. Teitgen said indications were that the teenage
pair had died instantly.
Funeral services for Barbara Loeser will be held at 1:30 p.m. Monday at the Beduhn, Deja and Martin Inc., Funeral Home, Two Rivers, and at 2 o'clock at St. John Lutheran Church, Two Rivers. The Rev. W.G. Haase will officiate and burial will be in Pioneers' Rest Cemetery, Two Rivers.
Barbara was born in Two Rivers on Jan. 20, 1937, a daughter of Howard and Marvelyn Boness Loeser. She was a junior student at Washington High School, Two Rivers.
Besides her parents she leaves a sister, Sharon, and her maternal and paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Boness and Mr. and Mrs. Louis Loeser, respectively, both of Two Rivers.
Friends may call at the funeral home after 7 p.m. Saturday.
