An automobile, parked in a driveway, tempted them. The mechanism of the machine could be handled by the older folks, so the little ones tried it too. Little Donald Carney Bryan, two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Bryan, 816 Brice-ave, is dead, the victim of a distressing accident. Dozens of children were gathered around the Bryan residence, a veritable retreat for the youngsters, when the accident occurred. They had turned from a "show" in the back yard of the Bryan home, to the greater fascination offered by the automobile. DEATH LURKS NEAR They tried to start the machine. Some pushed. Others pulled. Still others tried to operate the gears. Little Donald was among those who sought to push. He strained every muscle in his little body in an effort to move the automobile. Then something gave way - The machine rolled backward, down the inclined driveway and two-year-old Donald was caught between its wheels and the curb. There were cries of alarm. Frankie Brugner, 10, cousin of the victim and son of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Brugner, W. Elm-st, ran to the child. He picked him up from beneath the wheels of the machine and passed him to the arms of the father, who ran to the scene upon hearing the cries of the terrified children. Within fifteen minutes, the child had died, in the arms of its father. Life was crushed from its body by the machine. It is believed that while the children were playing around the machine, one of them released the brake and had slipped the car out of gear, allowing it to roll back down the driveway. Bryan, neighbors say, was in the habit of leaving his car in gear, as an added precaution against accident. The father of the child is one of the proprietors of the Bryan Automobile Sales Co., W. Market-st. The mother is a daughter of the late Frank X. Sieber. Besides the parents, one sister, Marjorie, age 6, and two brothers, Arthur Jr., age 10, and Hugh, age 4, survive. Angel high mass will be held for the child at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning at St. Rose. Burial will be in the mausoleum at Gethsemani. FATE PURSUES FAMILY The fatal accident Sunday followed a series that have occurred in the Bryan family during the past few years. First it was a child who lost a finger when his hand was caught in the door of an auto. The child died a number of years ago. Then in April of this year, Hugh, six years old, was in the hospital 24 hours after being struck by an automobile near St. Rose church. He recovered. Recently, the father of the children is reported to have suffered a severe injury to his arm while cranking an automobile. (published in The Lima News, Monday, July 31, 1922, page 1)
