The Ionia Standard, Friday, September 21, 1917


On Tuesday night at about 11:00 o’clock Irving Grinnell of Belding and Howard 
Chickering, living east of Smyrna, were riding a motorcycle south of Smyrna, 
when they collided with a buggy with Ed. Shindorf driving.

Grinnell was killed, the thill of the buggy piercing his head near the right 
eye for four or five inches; Chickering, badly hurt, was taken to his home and 
attended by a local doctor, and was taken to Butterworth hospital next 
afternoon for treatment, his jaw having been broken, and there being a severe 
gash on one of his limbs, and Shindorf was badly bruised about the hips and 
ankles from being thrown about 20 feet as the conveyances came together.

Grinnell is a married man, and lived in Belding, while Shindorf lives a mile 
and a half south of Smyrna.  The Chickering family are will known residents of 
Otisco.
