HARER, George Evan

Monday, September 22, 1952 AUTO MISHAPS KILL THREE PERSONS OVER WEEKEND DEATH OF GEORGE EVAN HARER Three persons-two of them pedestrians-were killed in traffic accidents in Arizona during the weekend. The fatalities raised the state's highway accident toll for 1952 to 247-27 fewer than for the same period last year. Killed were George E. Harer, 82 of 4016 1/2 N. Third St.; Juan Molina 58, of Tucson and Lee Jose, 43 of Stanfield. Harer suffered fatal injuries in a one-car accident nine miles northwest of Florence Junction early yesterday. His wife, Lula, 77, was admitted to Memorial Hospital, and a son, John S. Harer 47, of Holbrook, required emergency treatment. Highway patrolmen reported the son, who was driving, said he swerved his sedan off the road to avoid a collision with an approaching car whose blinding lights indicated it was on the wrong side of the pavement. Harer's machine hit an abutment and overturned. Funeral services for George Evan Harer, 82, retired farmer will be held at 10 a.m. at A.L. Moore ad Sons Mortuary, 333 W. Adams. The Rev. Robert D.
