ANNA SUFFERAN WOMAN RUN DOWN BY MOTORCYCLE MAY DIE FROM INJURIES MRS. JAMES SUFFERAN VICTIM OF ACCIDENT OF SOUTH TENTH STREET REPORTED IN SERIOUS CONDITION Struck by a motorcycle when she became confused in crossing the street on South Tenth street at noon yesterday, Mrs. James Suffren, a north side woman, was badly injured and reports today say that her condition is serious and that she may not survive. Mrs. Suffren was removed to the hospital where it is said she is suffering from severe injuries to the head, a hemorrhage at the base of the brain being dangerous. Mrs. Suffren was in an automobile with a party of friends and the machine had stopped at the Seed Company store to permit Mrs. Suffren and another lady to alight. The two started to cross the street in the middle of the block when John Schneider a South Side carpenter who was on a motorcycle approached coming from the south. Schneider sounded his warning but Mrs. Suffren appeared to become confused and though the motorcyclist endeavored to avoid a collision, the woman ran in front of the machine and was thrown to the pavement. Spectators who witnessed the accident say that Schneider was not to blame and had turned his machine to avoid the woman. The accident happened on the street in front of Manitowoc Seed Store and not at the corner which has been the scene of many accidents. Mrs. Suffren was unconscious when picked up and was carried to a neighboring store where a physician attended her and she was removed to the hospital. It was said today that physicians would be forced to repair the skull in order to save the life of Mrs. Suffren and that even this operation may not insure life as she had been ? to a weak heart for years and the shock of the accident makes her condition extremely grave. Mrs. Suffren resides on N. Twenty Third street and is an old resident of the city, being nearly sixty years of age. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Friday, August 27, 1915, Page 1 *********** VICTIM OF MOTOR CYCLE ACCIDENT FAILS TO SURVIVE MRS. JAMES SUFFERAN WHO WAS RUN DOWN ON SO. TENTH STREET THURSDAY, SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES AT THE HOSPITAL CORONER'S INQUEST IS TO BE HELD MONDAY Injuries which she sustained when she was run down by a motorcycle on South Tenth street Thursday noon, proved fatal to Mrs. James Sufferan whose death occurred at the Holy Family hospital early today. Mrs. Sufferan never regained consciousness after the accident, having suffered a hemorrhage of the brain and other injuries to her head. An inquest was ordered by District Attorney Schmitz and Coroner Falge, following the death of Mrs. Sufferan and the following jury was drawn to investigate the accident Monday at 10 o'clock: Henry Esch, Jr., John Koutnik, Louis Senglaub, Frank Hoffman, Henry Marten and Herman Westphal. An autopsy was performed upon Mrs. Sufferan today by Drs. Hammand and Roberts, under orders of the coroner. Mrs. Sufferan was struck by a motorcycle driven by John Schneider, S. Thirteenth street, while she was crossing the street on South Tenth after alighting from an automobile. Mrs. Sufferan was thrown to the pavement, striking her head and sustaining injuries which were pronounced serious by physicians. Mrs. Sufferan is said to have been subject to a weak heart and the shock of the accident added to the danger of her condition. Mr. Schneider, rider of the motorcycle was seriously bruised in the accident, being thrown from his machine. He was not detained after reporting the accident. Mrs. Sufferan was 60 years of age and is survived by her husband but no children. The couple resided on North Twenty Third street and have been residents of the city for many years. The death of Mrs. Sufferan is the second in the city due to accidents in the driving of motor vehicles, Edwin Schalowitz, a five year old boy having died from injuries sustained when run down by an automobile several weeks ago. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, August 28, 1915, Page 1 ********* CORONER'S JURY VERDICT IS DEATH DUE TO ACCIDENT JURY EXONERATES JOHN SCHNEIDER IN ACCIDENT WHICH RESULTED IN DEATH OF MRS. JAMES SUFFERAN ON THURSDAY That the death of Mrs. Jas. Sufferan, who succumbed to injuries sustained when run down by a motorcycle on South Tenth street Thursday, was due to an accident was the verdict of the jury which heard the evidence at the coroner's inquest held today. "Accidental death" is the verdict which exonerates John Schneider, driver of the motorcycle from responsibility for the accident. Six witnesses testified at the inquest which was conducted by Coroner Falge and District Attorney Schmitz, the testimony showing that the accident had happened probably five feet from the curb and had been due to Mrs. Sufferan becoming confused in starting across the street. Mrs. Richdorf, of Cooperstown, whose guest Mrs. Sufferan had been in an automobile, said that just previous to the accident another motorcycle had passed on the street and she believed that this added to the confusion of Mrs. Sufferan. John Schneider, driver of the motorcycle, was a witness and explained how the accident happened and said that he had endeavored to avoid striking the woman and had given warning by blowing his horn. Mrs. Nellie Keehan, a neighbor of Mrs. Sufferan and who was with her and had crossed the street, said that the companion had been confused by the traffic on the street. Dr. Hammond, who cared for Mrs. Sufferan at the time of the accident, said that there was a blood clot at the base of the brain which had caused death. He said that Mrs. Sufferan had been in ill health and that the shock of the accident contributed to her death. The woman had never regained consciousness after the accident. Other witnesses at the inquest were George Foster and Mrs. Foster whose home is near the scene of the accident. The funeral of Mrs. Sufferan was held this morning with interment at Evergreen.

The explosion blew out a partition in the house and spread the flames and young Sullivan, with his clothes ignited rushed from the house into the open air, the wind fanning the flames and making impossible rescuing the boy. Mother and brother rushed to his aid and succeeded in smothering the flames with rugs and ? but not before the injured boy had been fatally burned. Miss ? Sullivan, a sister, had (illegible) when she walked to the home of neighbors to summon as ? in fighting the flames to save the burning home. Miss Sullivan having rushed from the home with only a pair of house slippers on her feet and but scantily clothed, the family having just been awakened. The dead youth was the first to awaken Saturday morning and after dressing had laid the fire and then secured a can of oil from a shed in the rear of the house. It is thought that the darkness of the early morning he secured a can of gasoline instead of kerosene and when the oil was poured into the fire an explosion occurred which ripped a partition of the room wholly out and the flames ignited the curtains and carpets. With his clothing afire and suffering from the pains of his burns young Sullivan dashed from the house into the air and when his brother reached him had been so seriously burned that he survived only a short time after being brought here. The home was completely destroyed with its contents, it having been impossible to save anything from the flames. The tragedy arouses widespread sympathy for the family which is well known in this city. Mrs. Sullivan and her son who were burned in attempting to save the dead boy, will survive. Funeral services for Joseph Sullivan will be held from the home of his brother, Cornelius Sullivan at Osman tomorrow morning.
