Bellevue Man Killed When He Steps In Path Of Automobile

BELLEVUE-Lee Ryman, 59, was instantly killed Thursday night, about 9:15, when he was struck by a car on Highway 62, about a mile west of town, near the bridge. Delbert Keeney, driver of the car that struck Ryman, was not held. Sheriff Lorin Felderman and Coroner F. V. Andrew were called and conducted the investigation. It was found the accident was unavoidable as the man stepped directly in the path of the car. In the Keeney car were Harlan Keeney and Wilfred Trute.

Ryman had been employed for some time at the George Bies farm and that day had been hired by Elmer Hoff to cut wood. He was on his way to the Hoff home when the accident occurred. Ryman had lived in this locality about 18 years, coming here from Richland Center, Wisconsin. Little was known of the man’s family, but authorities succeeded in locating a sister, Mrs. Arthur Ray at Richland Center, Wisconsin. Funeral services were held Saturday at the John Dye funeral home, the Rev. Laurence Nelson, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, officiating. Burial was made in the City Cemetery.
