Mrs. Fehrenkamp And 2 Others Hurt in Collision
Death by traffic accident Monday evening claimed Felix Fehrenkamp, 75, one of Columbus' best known financiers and real estate dealers. [Interment in St. Anthony’s cemetery]

All Hospitalized
All were taken to Columbus hospital by a Columbus Funeral home ambulance and remain there for treatment. Mr. Fehrenkamp's death is Colorado county's 8th in a traffic accident this year.
Another 2-car crash near the scene of the Fehrenkamp-North accident injured no one, Patrolman Alton Adcock who investigated said.
A light, rain was falling at the time of the accident on a stretch of busy Highway 90 that has claimed about 10 lives within the past 2 year's.
Destination Not Certain
It was not known where Mr. and Mrs. Fehrenkamp were going.
Their Chevrolet car was hit near the right front and Mrs. Fehrenkamp was thrown out. The Norths were traveling in a 1956 Plymouth, officers said.
While the wreckage was being cleared, Patrolman Adcock said, a car being driven west on Highway 90 by 1st Lt. Eugene Sweat of the airforce sideswiped a car being driven by Louis Edward Pauls Jr., 21, of Galveston.
The officer Said that Pauls was stopped apparently, waiting to drive out from the cafe driveway, and that Lt. Sweat stepped on his brakes to avoid the wrecked cars
and swung into the Pauls car, sideswiping it.
