Lyons Herald, 5 Jan 1922

Edna Fiske, former resident of Lyons, met almost instant death in an auto 
accident near Maumee, Ohio, on Friday, Dec. 30th, 1921.  She was visiting a 
lady friend in Toledo, and they were down town shopping, when they decided to 
go to Maumee.  Her friend would not drive her own car on account of the 
slippery condition of the roads, so a taxi was secured for the trip.  When 
returning, about a mile out of Maumee, the taxi turned out for a team; the 
chauffeur lost control of the machine and it ran up a high bank and tipped over 
backwards.  The friend and the chauffeur were uninjured, but Miss Fiske was 
caught by the car and the top of her head nearly cut off.  She only lived a few 
minutes.

Edna Clare Fiske was born in Lyons February 24th, 1888, and was the only 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Fiske.  She went with her parents to Detroit to 
live in 1898, where she resided until two years ago when she went to Ortonville 
to live.  She was educated in the public schools of Lyons and Detroit, and 
later attended the Academy at Monroe.  She was baptized in the Episcopal church 
at Lyons in 1895.  She is survived by her mother, Dr. Annette B. Fiske of 
Detroit, and a brother, Mark Fiske.

The body was brought to Lyons Saturday night, and funeral services held Monday 
afternoon from the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy F. Beck, conducted by Rev. 
Clair Nease of the M.E. church.  Interment in the Lyons cemetery.
