I found the clippings below and scanned them into my computer; I think I’m going to have to do a better job of it, but for right now, I’ll let them serve.

Anna Wisler Olney was the much younger sister of Wesley Wisler, my great-grandfather. His daughter, Anna’s niece – but only a few years junior in age, was Jessie Wisler Shimp, my grandmother. Grandma was supposed to go with them that day but my mother told me that something came up and Grandma couldn’t go. Mother said she remembered Grandma walking out to the car to tell them when they stopped by. Later, people came by the house because they assumed Grandma had also been injured/killed.

Anna’s sister, Sara Jane, mentioned as a survivor was my infamous Great Aunt Sara who went to IU, married a travelling Encyclopedia Brittanica salesman, and once rode to town sitting with her head out of the window of a Buick because her hat wouldn’t fit inside.

The crossing at which they were killed is the one just south of my house on Riley Street. Mother said that Ed Olney had one of the first new automatic shift cars and they thought that might have had something to do with the accident.
