A very old, brown newspaper clipping states the following (newspaper & date unknown):
MRS. LEETH HURT IN BAD RUNAWAY
...Twenty-five Stitches Required for Wound Suffered in a Saturday Night Spill.
...An accident occurred Saturday night that was one of the most serious reported in some time. Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Leeth and child were driving to the city from their home in Allen township when about one mile north of the city on the Main road the horse became frightened and while curbing the animal the harness broke. This frightened the horse more than ever and in his plunging the buggy was thrown into a ditch and upset. The three occupants were thrown out. Mrs. Leeth was the only one injured. She alighted upon the street car track striking her chin and forehead on the rails cutting two long painful wounds which required twenty-five stitches to close it. Dr. R. W. VanHorn was the attending physician and when seen this morning stated that the unfortunate woman was resting as well as could be expected. (Source: Information received from Cindy Zale Eason, email)
