An 18-year-old Malcom youth, Charles Allan Vines Mann, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Mann, Rte. 2, Malcom, died at an Oskaloosa hospital late Monday night of injuries received early that same evening when he lost control of his car and crashed into an embankment of a country road about four miles northeast of Oskaloosa.

Young Mann, who had attended Montezuma high school was a freshman student at William Penn college in Oskaloosa and had been visiting a girl friend north of Oskaloosa that evening. He was alone in the car at the time of the accident.

According to investigating officers, Mann's car failed to make a turn at the bottom of a hill and crashed head-on into the embankment. His car was a total loss. He was admitted to the Oskaloosa hospital about 9:40 p.m.

He was a member of the Penn football squad and played defensive guard during the season just ended. While a player at Montezuma high, Mann was a South Iowa Cedar all conference first-team selection.

Dicken of the Montezuma Presbyterian church officiating. Organist will be Mrs. Eugene Holley and vocalist will be Loring Rohr.

Pallbearers and honorary pallbearers will all be members of the football team at William Penn College. Burial will be in Hazelwood cemetery with Smith Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
