The latter was going west on the Silver Lake road and Finney was driving north on the brick yard road The Reamer car was being driven by Chester Reamer, a brother of May, and in addition to those two another sister accompanied them. May died on the way to the hospital. Dorothy, the other sister suffered a sprained back but no broken bones. Chester was only slightly bruised.
