Colville, Guy Edgar
24 Feb 1907 – 11 May 1930
Guy E. Colville, 23, son of Guy W. Colville, 120 Roe Avenue, was struck and almost instantly killed by at 2 o'clock Sunday morning by an automobile driven by Lee Wise of 214 Wilson Street.
Deputy Sheriff Searl Provin investigated the tragedy and stated that the young man's death was accidental. Sunday morning Curt Berry, captain of detectives, investigated and verified the earlier findings. No arrests were made. The scene of the tragedy was at the first lane road, running south off the Hebron Road, west of the fairgrounds.
Mrs. & Mrs. Colville and Miss Katharine Lilly had been to Buckeye Lake and were returning home. When they reached the lane, Mr. Colville turned out of traffic while he made an adjustment on his car. He walked to the rear of the car. Mr. Wise, together with his wife and another couple, also returning from the lake, were riding about 35 miles an hour, he told the deputy sheriff. He said Colville stepped backward into the path of his car and he was unable to stop in time to prevent hitting him. Colville formerly was employed as driver of the bus between Coshocton and Newark, but retired from the service a month ago when the line changed hands. During his service with that company he carried blanket insurance for $2500, which ceased upon his retirement. He had been assured a position as driver for the Greyhound Bus Company and expected to assume his new duties this week.
He is survived by his widow, Mabel Colville; his father, two sisters, Mrs. M.H. Koehler and Miss Claribell Colville, and two brothers, William N. of the home and Dale of Indianapolis. The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the home in Roe Avenue. Rev. J.N. Eason will officiate with burial in Cedar Hill Cemetery.
