Mrs. Dorothy Munz Dies As Result Of Automobile Accident
Mrs. Dorothy Munz, wife of Chas. Munz, manager of the National Ice Cream branch in this city, died Tuesday at St. Helena from injuries received in an automobile accident last Saturday on a mountain road near St. Helena. The unfortunate woman never regained consciousness from the time the accident occurred until death.
Besides the husband, the deceased leaves a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. George R. Elliott of Brooklyn, who are now residing in New York, the family home. She was 30 years of age.
Friends attended the funeral services today at 2 p.m. at the home of her sister-in-law, Mrs. T. E. Grimes, 785 Victoria street, Ingleside Terrace, San Francisco. Interment, Cypress Lawn Memorial Park.
Mrs. Munz left this city alone early Saturday morning for a resort north of St. Helena, where she was in the habit of going to get the benefit of curative water at the springs. She was within a few miles of the place when it is supposed something went wrong with the steering gear of the Willy-Knight car she was driving, and Mrs. Munz was plunged over at 200-foot embankment.
Her body was found by a passing motorist among trees and shrubs half way down and the car at the bottom. She was taken to the St. Helena hospital, where it was found that both of her arms and one leg were broken and she was suffering internal hemorrhages.
Since coming to this city a short time ago Mrs. Munz became active in clubs and the social life of the community, and her pleasant and cheerful disposition endeared her to all, who will be grieved by her sudden death.
