Child Killed When Hit By Auto-Myrtle Clark, 6, of 323 North Washington Ave.
Accident Victim

Amasa Clark, 323 North Washington avenue, is dead today, the result of being
struck by an automobile driven by Andrew Savage of Flint, Mich., at 6:30 Tuesday
evening near the child’s home. The little girl was instantly killed.
According to investigation, the child darted across the avenue just as the
Savage car approached from the north and ran directly in front of the machine.
She was hastening to the car of her brother-in-law, Dean L. Hansen, which was
parked near the cub line on the east side of the avenue. Hansen is said to have
cautioned the child against crossing the street. Her neck was broken, the skull
fractured and the left thigh and forearm broken.
Mr. Savage said that the
child started across the avenue when his car was within 10 feet of her and that
he had no time to stop the machine before it struck her. He had no thought that
the child was going to cross the avenue and was driving his car at a moderate
rate of speed, stopping within a short distance after the impact. Mrs. Savage
was with her husband and they were on their way back from Yellowstone park to
their home.
Acting City Judge S.C. Powell, ex officio coroner, said that
unless further investigated disclosed facts warranting an inquest none will be

Accident Victim
Lois, ten-year-old daughter of Mrs. J. B. Tueller, Weber
county matron, plunged 300 feet to her instant death Friday afternoon in Ogden
canyon when she stumbled and fell while hiking up the old Indian trail.
The
fatal accident occurred at 3:15 o’clock, after a group of youngsters had eaten
their picnic lunch.
With Billy and Morris Ludden, 12 and 10 years of age, and
Ilene Parker, 12, the girl proceeded to the top of a precipitous peak, a short
distance away from the remainder of the group.
CHILD STUMBLES
As
she reached the summit Lois stumbled and plunged over the side of the cliff to
the brush at the bottom. The Parker girl was restrained by the Ludden boys from
attempting to go after her companion, an act which would have meant almost
certain death.
Mr. and Mrs. B.A. Montgomery and Miss Edna Shaw of Liberty,
who were driving along the roadway, saw the accident. Mrs. Montgomery drove
one-fourth mile west to El Monte Springs and telephoned police, while her
husband and Miss Shaw went to the body.

Hillis, state highway patrolman; D.E. Shaw, George Theobald, Dewey P. Hawkins
and A.J. Gale with Dr. N.H. Savage, city physician, responded and removed the
child’s body to the Larkin undertaking establishment, after Judge Simon Barlow,
coroner, had decreed no inquest need be held.
Other youngsters in the party
besides Lois and her three companions were Alice Odell, 12, whose mother, Mrs.
Fred Odell, 1663 Capitol avenue, had arranged the picnic and accompanied the
children, and Jean Tueller, 12, a sister of Lois.
Besides her mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Winter Tueller, who has been county matron for several years, the
child is survived by three sisters: Roma, Miriam and Jean. Her father, J.E.
Tueller, died several years ago. Lois was born September 1, 1921, at Montpelier,

Career Ended For J.G. Read At Age of 73-Life-long Resident Was Founder Of
Company Bearing Name
J.G. Read, founder of the firm which bears his name,
who died today at the age of 73 years.
J.G. Read, founder and president
of J.G. Read and Brothers company, early horseman and pioneer of Weber county,
died this morning at a local hospital just a few days before his 74th birthday.
He would have reached 74 on Tuesday, January 2, and the family had planned a
large party. He was suddenly stricken a few days ago.
He was born in
Slaterville in 1859 the son of William S. and Elizabeth Simmons Read. The family
first lived in Bingham’s fort, now Five Points, and later moved to a home known
as “The Old Green Door House” in the same vicinity.
FIRM IS FOUNDED
Mr. Read entered the harness and saddle making business and it was known as
J.G. Read company. Later he took his brothers, Oscar and W.S. Read, into the
business and it was known as J.G. Read and Brothers. In 1905 the business was
incorporated as J.G. Read and Brothers company, the title it now bears, and he
was elected president, a position he held at the time of his death.
Mr. Read
was known from one end of the intermountain country to the other for his love of
animals, especially horses. At one time he was the owner of the famous trotting
horse, “Nigger Boy,” the name now used as a trade mark in the business. Even
now, years after his death, old timers remember the feats of this animal. A
figure of the black trotter now adorns the roof of the Read building at
Twenty-fourth street and Kiesel avenue.
Mr. Read was an active worker in
civic affairs and for years was a constant supporter of the chamber of commerce.
He was also one of the sponsors of the old fairs that were formerly held in
Ogden and whenever any matters required steady, mature judgment, “Cy,” as he was
and is known to almost everyone, was called upon.
BASEBALL PLAYER
As a young man he was a baseball player and played on the city team with Sam
Browning, Wallace Boyle, Ambrose Greenwell and others.
Mr. Read was a
director and chairman of the loan committee of the Colonial Building and Loan
association of Ogden.
He is survived by his wife, Mary Rodelphia Read; two
sons, W. Earl and Walter T. Read; a daughter, Mrs. Rodger Chappelle; two
brothers, W.S. and Oscar T. Read, and eight grandchildren, all of Ogden.
