| The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ May 20, 1960, p. 8 Woman Dies While Driving Automobile County Medical Examiner has affirmed that Mrs. Miriam Estelle Burke 28-year-old Phoenix woman found dead in her car 4 miles east of here Saturday of last week, died of a heart attack. Mrs. Burke was driving with her two children, Cheryl, 5, and Paula 4, when the car went off the highway and into an embankment. The children received only minor bruises. Mr. Burke, the woman's husband, was driving another vehicle and was ahead of his wife. Since she had a record of previous heart trouble, Mr. Burke kept only a short distance ahead and when he did not see her car following he drove back to find the wrecked car. Because the car tires were- spinning and the friction caused a small grass fire, a passing motorist turned in a fire alam which was answered by the Wickenburg Rural Fire Department. |
