The Ionia County News, Thursday, February 15, 1940
Douglas Dawdy, 29, of Saranac, was instantly killed Tuesday evening when the 
car which he was driving sideswiped a truck about one-half mile north of Lake 
Odessa. Sheriff Leslie Murphy and Coroner Harry Myers said Dawdy had suffered 
a broken neck.  His companion, Harold Butterfield of Saranac, was removed to a 
Lake Odessa hospital with a possible skull fracture.  Driver of the truck 
which was owned by Johnson and Jarvis of Lake Odessa and Portland, Emory 
TenEyck, of Portland, was uninjured.  The Latter told officers that Dawdy, who 
was headed south towards Lake Odessa, sideswiped the front fender of the truck 
and crashed into the rack.  The side of the passenger automobile was ripped 
off by the impact.

Besides the wife, Mrs. Rachel Dawdy, and three stepchildren, of Saranac, the 
deceased is survived by a son, Douglas Jr., of Kalamazoo; the parents, Mr. and 
Mrs. Roy Dawdy of Portland; and a brother, Richard Dawdy of Portland.  

Funeral services will be held at the Bandfield funeral home in Portland at 2 
p.m. Friday.  Rev. Lewis Rigelman will officiate and burial will be in 
Portland cemetery.
