Chatterson, Emily (Abt. 1874-09 FEB 1949)

Mrs. J. Henry Chatterson, 75, wife of a former Methodist minister here, died at 1 p.m. last Wednesday at a hospital in Washburn from injuries received in a car-truck crash near Washburn.

The Chattersons were returning to their home at Washburn from Ashland, where the former pastor is an instructor in the vocational school one day a week.

The accident occurred at about 9:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 7, as the big gasoline transport truck they were trailing slowed up to cut to the left of another car partially out on the highway pulling another car out of the ditch. Mr. Chatterson was unable to apply the brakes soon enough and crashed into the rear of the big frock.

Mrs. Chatterson suffered a fracture of the left thigh and right wrist, plus severe head lacerations. Her husband suffered minor injuries, for which he was hospitalized.

Funeral services for Mrs. Chatterson were held last Friday afternoon At the Washburn Methodist church, with the Rev. C. E. Brown officiating. From there the body was taken to Frederic for burial rites Saturday.

Mrs. Chatterson, the former Emily Hadley, is survived, besides her husband, by a son, Leonard H. Chatterson, well-known Wisconsin missionary to French Cameroun, West Africa, now visiting in Beaver Dam, and a daughter, Mrs. Everald (Dorothy) Kellogg of Beaver Dam. Five grandchildren also survive.

Mr. Chatterson was pastor of the Loyal Methodist church from 1919 to 1923.

The Tribune extends to the bereaved its sympathy in the loss of a beloved relative.
