OBITUARY: 

John Janssen, 83-year-old man who died Monday in a Salem hospital, died as a result of injuries suffered in a Saturday night auto accident, a pathologist’s report revealed Tuesday. The report said internal hemorrhaging caused death. The doctor said the injury apparently was received in the crash, in which Janssen’s car struck the rear of a parked truck at Liberty and Marion streets NE. It was the second traffic death in the city of Salem this year. It raised the combined Marion-Polk road toll to 12. Nine of those have occurred in Marion County. Funeral services for Janssen, 900 Kingwood Drive NW, will be 2 pm today in Barrick chapel.
