Joan Laube was dead on arrival at the hospital after a train/auto collision on New Year's Day when returning from church at Holy Rosary in Owen (Clark Co., Wis.). Also dying in the accident was her 10-year-old sister, Ann.

A combined funeral service for Joan and Ann will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, January 3, 1974 at the Holy Rosary Catholic Church, with Father George Becker officiating. Burial will be made at Riverside Cemetery, Withee.

Joan Phyllis Laube, age 7, was born February 27, 1966, at St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield, and was a pupil in the 2nd grade at the Holy Rosary School.

There will be a Wake service at 8 p.m. Friday evening at the Funeral home.

She was a member of the Woodgrove 4-H Club.

She is survived by her parents, fur brothers, Dale, Gene, Phil, and Paul, and three sisters, Sharon, Barbara, and Mary Kay.

The Harold Laube family was a religious close family unit, and this community, with their many friends that knew them so well, are helpless in expressing their sorrow in this tragic accident.
