Thomas
F. Capels
died August 1, 1932
|
Thomas CAPELS, 4, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lester H. CAPELS of 1219 Carbon
street, was injured fatally late yesterday afternoon when struck
by an automobile as he ran into Hiawatha boulevard east at Carbon
street during the heaviest traffic period of the day. The child
was placed in a car and rushed to St. Joseph hospital where he died
half an hour later. Dr. J. Howard Ferguson, who assisted in the
investigation by James Bennett, coroner's assistant, conducted an
autopsy and reported a crushed chest and fractured neck as the causes
of the boy's death. Norbert Frey of 331 Wayland road, Lynnwood,
driver of the car, picked the child from the pavement, took him
to the hospital and reported the accident at police headquarters.
In his story of the case Frey said he left his home in Lynnwood
at 5 o'clock to drive to the plant of the Muench-Kreuze Candle Co.,
Inc., 617 Hiawatha boulevard east, where he is employed as a night
watchman. He planned to arrive a little earlier than usual he said.
As he approached the intersection of the boulevard and Carbon street,
the boy stepped off the curb and darted into the street. He ran
between two eastbound machines and into the path of the Frey car.
The car struck him and threw him aside before the driver could swerve
away. Frey said traffic on the boulevard, east and westbound, was
heavier than usual late yesterday afternoon and his car was forced
to travel at a moderate rate of speed.

One child suffered fatal injuries and a four-year-old girl is in

being struck by automobiles late yesterday afternoon. The dead child
was Thomas Capels, 4, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lester H. CAPELS of 1319
Carbon Street, who suffered a crushed chest and fractured neck when
he was knocked down by an automobile at Hiawatha Boulevard East
and Carbon Street. Norbert Frey of 331 Wayland Road, Lynwood, driver
of the machine, picked the boy from the pavement, placed him in
his car and took him to St. Joseph Hospital, where he died a half
hour later. An autopsy was conducted by Dr. J. Howard Ferguson,
who was assisted by James Bennett, coroner's assistant. After taking
the dying boy to the hospital, Frey reported the accident to police.
He said that he left his home in Lynwood at 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon to drive to the plant of the Muench-Kreuzer Candle Company,
Inc., 617 Hiawatha Boulevard East, where he is employed as night
watchman. As he approached the intersection of the boulevard and
Carbon Street, Frey said, the boy stepped from the curb and darted
into the street, running between two eastbound machines into the
path of Frey's car. The machine struck him and tossed him aside
before the driver could apply the brakes. The boy is survived by
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lester Capels; three sisters, Elizabeth,
Helen, and Catherine Capels; and three brothers, Edward, Norman,
and James Capels. The funeral will be conducted at 2 o'clock tomorrow

Betty Stroup, 4, of 847 South Clinton Street, was in critical condition
this morning in Onondaga General Hospital where she was taken yesterday
afternoon after being struck by an automobile in front of her home.
The girl was returning to her home after running an errand at a
store across the street. According to Earle J. Marseillaies of 113
Beard Avenue, driver of the car, the child ran into the front of
his machine. He picked her up and carried her to the hospital where
examination revealed she was suffering a fracture of the collarbone
and possible internal injuries. Marseillaies reported the accident
to the police.
