DOROTHY DYER, 11, VICTIM OF DISTRESSING ACCIDENT IN CAMBRIDGE, MONDAY MORNING

Cambridge, Dec. 29-Dorothy Dyer, 11 year old daughyter of Mr. and Mrs. D. C. 
Dyer of North fifth street was killed Monday morning at 11:35 o'clock, when 
the sled on which she and her sister, Naomi Dyer were coasting, crashed into a 
Dodge roadster driven by W. A. Linton of North Seventh street at the corner of 
North Fifth street and Foster avenue.  The force of the impact herled Dorthy 
under the machine and it is believed that one of the wheels passed over her 
body.  She was crushed throught the chest and abdomen and died fifteen minutes 
following the tragedy.  Naomi was thrown to the side of the street and escaped 
being struck by the vehicle.

Mr. Linton stopped his car as quickly as he could and went to the aid of the 
two children.  They were rushed to the Wells hospital in the Roger Doyle 
machine.  Dorothy never regained consciousness and died while Drs. Huth and 
Bradford were making an examination of her injuries.  Naomi was painfully 
bruised and suffered minor lacerations.  However, her condition is not 
expected to become critical unless unforeseen complications develop.

The two sisters were coasting down the steep North Fifth street hill which 
intersects Foster avenue.  Naomi was guiding, lying outstretched on the sled 
and Dorthy was on top of her.  By the time they arrived at the intersection 
they were traveling at a rapid rate of speed and Mr. Linton who was driving 
east on Foster avenue did not observe their approach until tll late to avoid 
the catastrophe.

The body of Dorothy Dyer was removed to the Stevens undertaking establishment 
and prepared for burial and was removed late Monday to the family residence.  
She was a pupil in the sixth grade at the Ninth street school building and was 
a favorite with all who knew her.  The entire community was shocked and 
saddened at her tragic death.  

In addition to her parents, the child is survived by two brothers, Richard and 
James Dyer both of the home, and two sisters, Mrs. Thomas Morgan, city and 
Naomi Dyer.  Funeral arrangements had not been completed late Monday.
