Peffley - Samuel 1933
Source: Crawfordsville Journal, Tuesday, January 17, 1933
Kokomo, Ind., Jan. 16, Samuel Peffley, 87, Kokomo, struck by a truck driven by Albert Schwenger, Kokomo baker, early Monday morning, died this afternoon at Good Samaritan hospital. Peffley has resided here for eight years, operating a shop for sharpening knives, scissors, and doing other odd jobs. Peffley was pushing a cart in the downtown section when struck. Schwenger told police the headlights on his truck were ineffective because of a light rain on the pavement and that smaller street lights recently installed as an economy measure by the city also prevented his seeing Peffley until too late. Samuel Peffley is a former Ladoga resident and well known in that vicinity. -- kbz
