Clyde Austin Meets Tragic Death Near Kansas City Sunday Evening
Clyde Austin of Macksburg was killed ten miles north of Kansas City about six o’clock on Sunday evening. Mr. Austin had secured a position in Kansas City and left home on Saturday by auto to make arrangements for the removal of his family. When within a short distance of his destination, while pumping up a tire, he was knocked down by a driver of a Ford and ran over by two large cars. His body was badly crushed and bruised and it is thought death must have been instantaneous.
Mr. Austin was raised near Macksburg and for ten years, during his boyhood, lived at the Dr. C. M. Wallace home. He was forty-four years old and leaves his wife and son Wallace. Funeral services were held at Macksburg on Wednesday afternoon.
Note: Burial was made in the Moon cemetery.
