51849. Edward John Talbot


The Davenport Democrat and Leader
July 6, 1924

Kewanee, Ill., July 5. - While hundreds passed swiftly by, unknowing, three Kewanee people were slowly crushed to death beneath their overturned auto, before assistance could be given in righting the car, last night on the Cambridge road.

The three died, while two other occupants of the car were slightly injured, after their machine hit a bridge abutment near the Jennings farm, five miles east of Cambridge.

The dead are:
Edward Talbot, 208 Maple avenue,
Mrs. Edward Talbot, same address,
Mrs. Aaron Olson, 227 South Burr street.

It was during the parade of automobiles from the Cambridge Fourth of July celebration to Kewanee last night that the accident occurred. The party started home, with Mr. Talbot at the wheel, and his son in the front seat with him, after the evening fireworks at Canbridge. There was a continous line of cars and the road was very dusty in spots.

As they neared the bridge over small creek near the Jennings farm, bright lights on a car approaching from the opposite direction bewildered the driver and he hit the abutment of the bridge. The machine was turned over, rolling down an 8 foot enbankment, pinning the occupants beneath it in mud and water. The son and Mr. Olson released themselves, but were unable to pull their dying relatives out.

Frantic cries of the boy's father and mother and of Mrs. Olson were of no avail. Mr. Oson tried in vain to flag several cars going by, but they paid no heed. Finally assistance was procured and they were released. The car whose glaring headlight had caused the accident, failed to stop.
Mr. and Mrs. Talbot were taken to their home at Cambridge, and Mrs. Olson was brought to Kewanee. Coroner D. F. Stewart, Galva, held an inquest and found that death was accidental.
Mr. Talbot was born in Cambridge, 53 years ago. He came to Kewanee in 1923 and had since been employed as linotype operator of the Kewanee Star Courier plant. He was formerly the editor of the Sentinel at Oscealo, Iowa. Besides the son, and a daughter, Mrs. B.G. Baughman, Kewanee he leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Talbot, Cambridge.

Mrs. Talbot was formerly Miss Myrtle Robinson, Cambridge, she was 45 yearsof age.


Charles L. Martin

Payette Enterprise
April 24, 1930

C. L. Martin, 57 years of age, a rancher living one mile east of New Plymouth, was instantly killed and his wife and daughter seriously injured in an auto accident Saturday evening, while his 19 year old son who was driving the car escaped injury.

The Martin family were on their way to Payette and when near the Wilfong ranch, three miles west of New Plymouth, they met another car driven by Mrs. H. L. Householder, who also lives in that community, and due to glaring headlights with no particular blame attached to either driver the cards side swiped with sufficient force to cause the driver of the Martin car to lose control when the car swerved to the opposite side of the road and turned bottom side up and immediately took fire. The son, who was not injured was the only member of the family who was able to relieve himself from the wreck. He at once took off his coat and smothered the flame burning his sister's hair, then pulled her from beneath the car. He was also able to get his mother from beneath the burning car, but the father who was evidently killed outright was pinned fast with a crushed skull and was not removed until after the New Plymouth fire department, being notified, had arrived and extinguished the flames that had completely burned the clothes from the unfortunate man.

H. E. Wilfong who lives nearby heard the crash and came quickly to render assistance as well as others who were passing by. Mrs. Martin and daughter were taken to the Ontario by Dr. Drysdale of New Plymouth where it was discovered that Mrs. Martin had suffered a broken pelvis bone and one leg, besides severely bruised and suffering from the shock. The daughter had one arm quite badly injured and her badly burned.

I. H. Adair, coroner of Payette county, Sheriff Stewart and Deputy Fensky were called to the scene of the accident. It was deemed unnecessary to hold an inquest. the funeral for Mr. Martin was held from the New Plymouth Baptist church, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
