Car crash in Absecon, 1938

from the New Jersey Mirror 18 May 1938:
Miss Elizabeth F. Mooney, 32, of 16 Carrol street, Trenton, secretary to former Governor Edward C. Stokes, was killed late on Saturday night in a head-on collision of two automobiles near Absecon. She succumbed shortly after being admitted to the Atlantic City Hospital. Her companion, Miss Agnes Weinmann, 24, of Morrisville, Pa., was taken to the same hospital, suffering from a fractured leg and other injuries. They were returning from a visit to the Atlantic City horse show in the car of Miss Weinmann, who was driving. Miss Weinmann is noted in the Trenton area as an equestrienne. David Johns, 64, of Egg Harbor, a passenger in the other car, also was killed. Two others who were in the car were injured: Harry Johns, 33, who received a fracture of the right arm and a possible fracture of the skull, and a son-in-law, Michael Puglice, 28, who sustained a broken right leg. State police were unable to learn who was driving the car.
