        Charles Lundquist, 52, son of Mr and Mrs Jacob Lundquist, Sunfield
Township pioneers, was instantly killed between the Earl Clever and Jay
Green farms on U. S. 27 about 7 p.m. Monday night. He was hit by a car
driven by Edward Howard, a Charlotte young man, who brought the injured man
to the Community hospital. His neck was broken and he died instantly in the
opinion of Dr. H. A. Moyer. Lundquist, according to the officer, was
driving to Lansing and his car had run out of gas and he was walking back
to Charlotte. According to Howard and his aunt, who was with him, Lundquist
was walking down the center of the pavement with the traffic, and they did
not notice the object until too late to turn. No blame is attached to the
driver, who personally reported to the officers and told his story.
