Ionia Sentinel Standard, 2 Aug 1937

Ionia Man Is Killed in a Flint Wreck
Guy Messacar Dies in Flint Hospital After Automobile Collision While En Route Home
from Work Sunday Morning.

Funeral services for Guy A. Messacar, 47, will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2:30
from the home at 427 Pleasant street.  Mr. Messacar died in Hurley hospital, Flint,
at 6 o’clock Sunday morning from injuries received in an automobile accident at 1
p.m. Sunday morning near the west city limits of Flint.

According to reports received in Ionia, Mr. Messacar, a tool and die maker for the
Buick Motor company of Flint, finished his work there Saturday night at 11 o’clock,
and was en route home when the accident occurred.  His car was hit at the Miller and
Linden roads by one driven by Willard Decker, 23, of Flint, driving on a stop
street.  Messacar was taken to the Flint hospital where he succumbed to the injuries
at 6 a.m.

Ionia relatives said Monday that Mr. Messacar usually has waited until Sunday
morning to make the trip to Ionia because he dreaded the hazardous driving
conditions on the outskirts of Flint at that time of night.  He had planned to
attend an alumni picnic of his boyhood school Sunday near Greenville.

Mr. Messacar, who had been employed in Flint for the past five years, was born in
Ontario, Canada, in 1890.  He came to the United States when two years of age and
has been a resident of Ionia for 20 years.  He was employed here for many years at
the Hayes Body corporation where he worked as a tool and die maker.

Besides his wife Bessie, he is survived by one son, Guy, Jr., 17; his father, Alex
Messacar, St. Thomas, Canada, and several brothers and sisters in Canada.

Dr. Paul L. Stewart and Rev. C. A. Brady will be in charge of the services at the
home Wednesday.  Burial will be at Balcom cemetery.
