  Villa Grove, IL – A seven months old baby was killed instantly and seven other persons were injured at 6:30 o’clock last night, August 14, 1941, when the cars of Carl Livengood of Villa Grove and John Murbarger, farm worker of near here, collided at an intersection five miles west of Villa Grove. The child, Janice Fay Murbarger, was dead when ambulances bearing the injured reached Jarman Hospital at Tuscola. The body was taken to the Waddington Funeral Home in Tuscola and will be taken to Dundas, in northern Richland County for burial. Others injured in the collision were Mr. and Mrs. John Murbarger, parents of the fatally injured child; Mr. and Mrs. Carl Livengood of Villa Grove and their three children, Larry 8, Max 13 and Anne 10. The Livengood family were on their way to visit Mrs. Livengood’s parents at Bement. Mr. and Mrs. Murbarger, who recently had come here from near Clay City to work on a farm a mile north of the scene of the accident, were driving south toward Tuscola. It was rumored here this morning that Mrs. Murbarger had died, but attendants at Jarman hospital this morning reported that her condition as well as that of the other injured, was “fair”.
