Bio

Passing Auto Kills West Man As He Mends Tire I. Vrana Dies of Fractured Skull; Death Car Thought To Be From Hillsboro While fixing a tire on his auto eight miles from Waco on Dallas Road, Monday morning at about 1:30 o'clock, I. Vrana, a leather worker in West, was struck by a passing auto, driver unknown, and Vrana's skull was fractured, his left collar bone broken, and other injuries inflicted which resulted in his death while he was being rushed to a hospital in Waco. [Wallie Kennedy of Abbott, who was with Vrana, was shaken up so badly that he could not appear and testify Monday morning when Justice R. B. Stanford held an inquest. He probably will testify today, after which an official verdict will be returned.] Five young men of Southwestern University at Georgetown came along soon after Vrana was struck and picked him up, starting to Waco with him, but he was dead when they reached here. The young men ran into a ditch on the way and narrowly avoided another wreck. [Kennedy is said by Justice Stanford to have the number of the car that struck Vrana, the number being reported as issued in Hillsboro.] Funeral services of Mr. Vrana will be held today at West. He was 53 years old and had lived in Texas all his life, residing in West for the past five years. He is survived by his wife and ten children. Three daughters, Mrs. Jerrie Genzer, Abbott, Mrs. Louie Kahanek, Abbott, and Mrs. J. Krejci, Lavaca County; seven sons, August, J.S., Joe and Jim Vrana of Abbott, and Albert, Julius, and Houston Vrana of West.
