Bio
The Columbus Journal, May 13, 1915 DIED JERDON--Returning home from Osceola last Friday, James Jerdon living seventeen miles northeast of that town met his death in an automobile accident. He was driving twenty-five miles an hour and in attempting to pass a buggy going in the same direction he lost control of the car, with the result that it overturned and pinned him underneath the running board crushing his skull. In the machine with Mr. Jerdon were his wife and daughter, the latter having a baby in her arms. While both were thrown some distance from the machine, they received only minor bruises. Mr. Braithwait, who was in the buggy was also thrown out of his rig and fell within a few inches of Jerdon. Mr. Jerdon was about 75 years of age and had resided on his farm fourteen years. He was an old soldier and member of the G.A.R. Mrs. Jerdon was brought to St. Mary's hospital in this city, where she is getting along nicely. Contributor: diaNEB (47466150) • [email protected]
