"Died From Injuries"

"Valentine Pfannes, an old gentleman and father of A. J. Pfannes, of near Fontana, was struck by an auto driven by Clyde Graham on Main Street Sunday evening, about 6:00 o'clock. The car ran over Mr. Pfannes and he died two hours later from the effects of his injuries.

While Mr. Graham was not driving fast and the street was slippery. It seems we allow too much careless fast driving in the downtown section

He lived on a farm in Miami County until 1898 then moved to Louisburg, Kansas where he resided until the death of his wife Anna Maria Hergenröther on August 9, 1917.
