LOCAL YOUTH FATALLY HURT IN CAR CRASH
Howard Lynn Dies at Hospital
Twelve Hours After Crash
Near Greentown
A small patch of soft gravel and a comparatively high speed were blamed by authorities for the fatal injury, early Thursday evening, of Omer Howard Lynn, son of Mrs. William Pyle, 314 West Monroe street, who died at 7:30 o'clock Friday morning at Good Samaritan hospital. The accident occurred about three miles south of Greentown about 7:30 o'clock in the evening.
The young man who is known, to many friends-in the city, was found in an unconscious condition about fifty feet from his wrecked car, a small roadster, by residents of the vicinity. They rushed him to the office of a Greentown physician, who ordered him removed to the hospital in Kokomo. It was evident that he was the victim of a severe
concussion of the brain or possible skull fracture.
Relatives were called to his bedside, but he did not regain consciousness before his death.
Sheriff Currens, who was called to the scene of the accident, stated that in his opinion the young man had been traveling at a fairly high rate of speed and that he had lost control of his car in a patch of soft gravel. The car turned completely over and hurled the driver a considerable distance.
The youth was at his home at the dinner hour Thursday evening and left alone to attend the band concert at Greentown. Upon learning that the concert had been postponed, it is believed he was returning to Kokomo by a round-about way when the accident occurred. There was no evidence that any other vehicle had figured in the crash. The car was completely wrecked.
Howard Lynn was born on Oct 6, 1915, in Kokomo. He attended te local schools and complteted three years of high school work. Until the purchase of te Crosley plant here by the General Motors Corporation he was employed, but had been unemployed since that time. He was popular with his many friends and was particularly noted for his cheerful disposition and happy attitude, even in the face of trouble. He was a member of the First Baptist church from the time he was a small boy.
Surviving are his mother, Mrs. William Pyle; his step-father; a sister, Mrs. Edward Gollner; a brother John Lynn, and three step-brothers, Richard, Hugh K, and John Pyle. His father, Omer Otho Lynn, a potter pressman died in 1925.
