Iva (Bausman) Leverton was the daughter of George and Rachel (Miller) Bausman. Her obituary was published in the Freeport Journal-Standand on September 29, 1958.
This obituary is a bit odd since it has another obituary mixed in with it. Paragraphs 1, 2 and 5 are Iva’s obituary. Paragraphs 3, 4, and 6 reference a Mrs. Huett. Why this obituary was written this way is a mystery.

Forgotten History 
I can shed some light on this: Iva Bausman was my great grandmother (Virginia Breed is my father’s mother). The cause of her death was the result of a car accident that occurred at the intersection of US Rte. 20 and Illinois Rte. 73 in rural Lena, Illinois. Mrs. Huett, if I recall correctly was in the car with Iva, which would explain the dual obituary.

Thank you for clarifying this!
Once I read your post, I remembered reading about this accident. My great-grandmother’s sister Gertrude (Bausman) Schoenhard had a newspaper clipping about the accident in her genealogy files. Gertrude and Iva were first cousins.
