The Portland Observer, Thursday, January 26, 1928

Mrs. Lloyd Dunn, of Ionia, was almost instantly killed about 2 o’clock this 
(Thursday) morning when a car in which she, her husband and two children were 
riding became stalled on US 16 near Ferguson’s blacksmith shop seven miles 
west of Portland and was rammed by a machine driven by Chas. Schue of Grand 
Rapids.

The Dunn family were turning to their home at Ionia from Lansing.  When they 
reached a point a short distance west of Ferguson’s corner, their car ran out 
of gas.  Mr. and Mrs. Dunn left the two children in the machine and were 
behind their car pushing it from the pavement when the car driven by Schue 
approached from the west.  As it drew closer to them Mr. Dunn saw that it was 
traveling on the wrong side of the road and grabbing his wife attempted to 
jump out of danger, but just then the crash came, the Schue car ramming their 
machine head on, catching the unfortunate woman in the wreckage.  Mr. Dunn and 
the two children in the car escaped uninjured.  Schue was placed under arrest 
and is now in the county jail.  An inquest will be held and the finding of the 
coroner’s jury will decide whether or not a charge of murder will be lodged 
against him.
