J.B. KLEIN VICTIM OF MINE ACCIDENT

Funeral services were held Thursday morning at. St Anthony's Church for J. B. Klein, 47-year-old resident of Wenden who passed away at Community Hospital here at 1:43 p.m. last Sunday from injuries received in a mine accident early in the morning of the same day. Burial took place in the Wickenburg Cemetery. A Rosary was said for the deceased Wednesday night at the Wickenburg Chapel.

Caught In Cave-In

Mr. Klein was caught in a cave-in at the Love Mine near Artillery Peak and was extricated by fellow miners after 45 minutes of strenuous effort. It took another three hours to get him to the hospital here where he was found to have suffered a broken pelvis and dislocated right hip. His death was due to shock, the attending doctor said.

Mr. Klein, his wife Mildred and their two young daughters lived here for a period of time several years ago. He engaged in mining while Mrs. Klein was employed at the Del Rio Motel, then under the management of the Tucker Coxwells.

Surviving are his widow, two daughters and two sons; four brothers and four sisters and five grandchildren.
