OBITUARY:
HOWARD, THEODORE
"TED" HOWARD DIES FOLLOWING ACCIDENT YESTERDAY EVENING.
Theodore R. Howard, familiarly known as "Ted" Howard, one of the most widely known and popular boys in Salem, died at 1 o’clock this morning at the Salem hospital following a collision in which a motorcycle, an automobile bus and a trolley car figured at State and Waverly streets late yesterday afternoon. The lad was not yet 15 years old, but had a wide reputation as a public speaker and reader. He was employed at the Salem post office as a special delivery messenger and at the Postal Telegraph office as a press messenger. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Howard, 1237 Marion street, mail collector for the post office.
When the boy was examined at the hospital it was found that his left hip and right shoulder were badly crushed and his head seriously bruised. He was partially conscious, however, and after an operation which was hastened by the attending physician there was strong hope that he would recover although the wounds about his head could not be determined definitely at that time.
Eye witness say that the lad was traveling on his motorcycle south on Waverly street between the state capitol and the Supreme court building. The motor bus on the Marion hotel was traveling west on State and the street car east on State. In some manner the motorcycle and the bus came together at the intersection. It is said the cycle was carried a distance of about 80 feet by the auto bus and Howard was thrown under the street car. He was picked up by C. W. Niemeyer, who saw the accident, and taken to the hospital in an automobile belonging to J. R. Brotzman, a stranger in Salem, who also accompanied him to the hospital.
Besides his parents he leaves a sister, Clara Howard, and two brothers, Rex and David Howard. The latter is in the navy stationed in Asiatic waters.
