Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Thursday, September 28, 1916, p. 11
A very serious accident occurred Saturday evening about 10 o'clock at the corner north of the Alfred Lawrence place, one and one-fourth miles east and a half mile north of Braddyville when four Hopkins, Mo., young men in a new Ford were on their way toward Braddyville. From all appearance they were going at a pretty swift gait and instead of turning south at the corner the car went over the embankment into a ditch, eleven feet deep, killing Joseph Coleman, breaking the leg of Glaucus Luce and the collar bone of Mack Russell. Faye Morehouse, the other occupant of the car, was unhurt. They were discovered by George Laub who was going home from Braddyville. Mr. Laub called Dr. R. A. Hawthorne, who examined Mr. Coleman and found him to be dead. It was not decided whether he was drowned in the water by his body, or if death was caused from a broken neck. His body was brought to Holton's undertaking rooms in Braddyville and was taken to his home near Hopkins the same night. The other boys were taken to the home of Alfred Lawrence where their wounds were dressed and also were taken home Saturday night. At the last report, Tuesday, Mr. Luce and Mr. Russell were getting along nicely.
