looking at a clipping of Viola's obituary.
I think it is from the Columbus [Ohio] Dispatch, but it does not appear
on the obituary index at the Columbus, Ohio, Metropolitan Library. Still the obituary appears to be from the
Disptach because of the format. The Dispatch usually puts the last name in caps
above the article. They don’t indent at
all. They do not always use full sentences, like the first “Viola Collins, age
76” is very typical of how their obituaries are written. The order of topics covered is
similar--personal information, survivors, funeral. They usually put the name of the funeral home in solid caps, and
the wording of that sentence is almost identical to her husband's See her husband Howard’s obituary below as
an example:

Submitter's Note: A shorter
obituary published Friday, March 4, 1988, said that he died in an
"automobile pedestrian" accident.
It also said, "Services will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 5,* in
Aurora Chase Mortuary, 1095 Havana St. Burial
at 2:30 p.m. Monday, March 7, in Fort Logan National Cemetery." The March 5th date in that obituary is a
conflict with the March 3rd in this one.
Since March 5 was a Saturday, the earlier obit with the March 5th
date might be the correct one.

Man killed when vehicle
flips twice
A former Shelby County man was killed Saturday when the
jeep he was driving went off County Road 150E and flipped twice, reports said.
Jan B. Neeb, 46, Indianapolis, died at 7:40 p.m. Saturday
at W.S. Major Hospital of head and internal injuries, reports said.
A passenger in the jeep, Tony A. Neeb, 23, R.R. 1, Waldron,
is in stable condition this morning at Major Hospital. Tony Neeb, Jan's son, suffered head and
internal injuries, reports said.
Both men and two other passengers, Bill Neeb and Tony
McColley, were thrown from the open-topped, four-wheel drive jeep, according to
a Shelby County Sheriff's Department report.
Bill Neeb and McColley, no ages or addresses available,
refused treatment, reports said.
The accident occurred about 6:10 p.m. near County Road
125E.* [*Submitter’s Note: I am not positive that this number is
correct. It was difficult to read on my
copy of the obituary.] The jeep was
traveling northbound on County Road 150E when it met a vehicle coming from the
other direction, reports said.
A tire on the jeep dropped off the road, and Neeb lost
control of the vehicle. The jeep
flipped over, crossed the road, went down an embankment and came to rest on its
wheels on the south side of County Road 150E, reports said.
Witnesses in a vehicle traveling behind the jeep told
police the vehicle rolled over twice.
Reports said there was a strong odor of alcohol on the
breath of Jan Neeb. A blood test was
sent to the Indiana State Police laboratory to determine Neeb's blood-alcohol
level, reports said.
Assisting at the scene were the Shelbyville Fire Department
and the Shelbyville-Shelby County Emergency Ambulance Service.
The fatality was the second in Shelby County since the
beginning of the year, according to the state police.
Born in Shelby County Oct. 28, 1941, he was a son of Harold
and Edna Mabel (Baker) Neeb.
Mr. Neeb had lived in Indianapolis for three years. Prior to that, he had lived in Shelbyville
and Waldron.
For three years he had been a supervisor at the Action
Steel Co., Indianapolis.
His memberships include the Blue Ridge Christian Church and
the Indianapolis National Guard.
Survivors include his parents, Shelbyville; two sons,
William Ray Neeb, Flat Rock, and Tony Alan Neeb, Waldron; a daughter, Natalie
Ann Neeb, Shelbyville; three sisters, Mrs. Ann McVey, Waldron; Mrs. Nancy
Gilcrest, Lexington, N.C.; and Mrs. Linda Beach, Waldron; five brothers,
Charles Neeb, Shelbyville, Richard Neeb, Rushville, Raymond Harold Neeb II,
