AMELITH WOMAN KILLED BY AUTO

Mrs. Mary Pfeiffer Meets Death While Crossing Highway

Mrs. Mary Pfeiffer, 70 years old last Wednesday, of Amelith, Frankenlust township, was almost instantly killed about 10 o'clock Sunday night, when struck by an automobile on U. S. 23 at a point about 1,000 feet south of St. John's Lutheran church. The driver of the automobile which struck Mrs. Pfeiffer was Frank Leitow, of 123 Owen avenue, Saginaw, according to a report of the accident made by Sheriff Ezra Marvin and Coroner Hanry M. Simon, who responded to the call. The driver was not held.
Mrs. Pfeiffer, who with a son had been visiting friends living near St. John's Lutheran church, was crossing the highway when the accident occurred. The son had crossed the road first and noticing an approaching automobile, motioned to his mother to stop. She obeyed his command for the first automobile, but apparently did not see the son point to Leitow's car, which was coming almost behind the first one, and walked directly in the path of it.
An ambulance was called, but death came while Mrs. Pfeiffer was enroute to Mercy hospital.
Surviving are her husband, Laurence, two sons, John, of Saginaw, and Edward, at home, two daughters, Mrs. Alma Ruhlig and Mrs. Andrew Gerhauser, both of Bay City; three sisters, Mrs. Margaret Hartman, of Detroit, Mrs. John Foerster, of Bay City, Mrs. barbara Foerster, of Auburn, and seven grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at two o'clock Thursday afternoon from the home, and at 2:30 from St. John's Lutheran church, with Rev. Fred Bickel officiating. Burial will be in Amelith cemetary.
