The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Monday, October 20, 1924


Mrs. Edward Conner, 62, of 335 West State street, is dead, and Mr. Conner and 
the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Matt Roche are suffering from painful injuries 
as the result of an automobile accident which happened near the Ray Edwards 
farm, a mile and a half west of Palo at 8 o’clock Sunday morning.

Mr. and Mrs. Conner, Mr. and Mrs. Matt Roche, and their two children were on 
their way to Vestaburg to spend Sunday with Mrs. Conner’s daughter, Mrs. Ed 
Scott.  As they approached the Edwards farm, a dog came into the road, and Mr. 
Conner swerved his machine in an effort to avoid hitting the dog.  The car 
skidded, turning over twice in the ditch.

Mrs. Conner’s death occurred 10 minutes after a doctor arrived from Palo.  
Besides severe bruises, Mr. Conner also suffered a broken or dislocated 
shoulder.  One of the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Roche was badly cut about the face.  
The other persons escaped unhurt.

Mrs. Conner, who before her marriage was Miss Mary Reed, of Orleans, had lived 
in this part of the county during most of her life.  Besides her husband, she 
is survived by two children, Mrs. Ed Scott, of Vestaburg, and a son, Henry 
Conner, of Keene township.  She also leaves two brothers, John Reed, of Lowell, 
and Austin Reed, of Orleans township.

Funeral arrangements have not yet been made for Mrs. Conner, owing to the 
injures of Mr. Conner.  The body of the dead woman is now at the Winchell & 
Some undertaking parlors. 

Last Monday afternoon Mr. Conner had fully gained consciousness.  As yet the 
full extent of his injuries have not been determined.  It is thought that he 
may have some ribs broken and he is also suffering from bruises about the head 
and shoulders.
