Mojave Woman Instantly Killed
Head On Collision Near Actis
The instantaneous death of Mrs. Sylvester Oliver of Mojave Easter Sunday evening
was the tragic climax of a head-on collision near Actis, south of Mojave. According to 
an inquest Tuesday presided over by Coroner N. E. Houze the fatal1ty resulted from 
the unexplained crash of a car driven by Mr. Oliver, the deceased's husband, and 
another occupied by Lewis Wallace of Burbank, Calif., a Lockheed Aircraft 
employee. Minor injuries were sustained by both men who were hospitalized at 
Mojave Hospital, where they are now convalescing.
The body of the deceased is in care of the Mojave Funeral Chapel awaiting recovery 
of Mr. Oliver and either local funeral arrangements or shipment to  relatives in 
Trenton, Mo. In addition to the widower, she is survived locally by her son and 
daughter-in-law Mr. and Mrs. Norman Nelson of Rosamond.
