George & Peter Guillaume

Automobile Accident In Paulding county kills two men.

A large Studebaker automobile, in which the brothers George and Peter Guillaume, John Bauer and James Horning were (riding) on Saturday afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock near the Churchyard in the vicinity of Melrose, Paulding County, got the rear wheels stuck in a rut and rolled backwards down a high embankment. The machine turned over but ended up upright with the shattered rear wheels at the edge of the embankment. Peter Guillaume was pulled a corpse from under the rear axle of the machine. George Guillaume was still alive, but had suffered such serious internal injuries that he died after a half hour had passed. Bauer suffered a fractured skull, and Horning came away with lesser injuries.

The Guillaume brothers hailed from Emerald Township in Paulding County, were unmarried, and 40 and 45 years old, respectively. Mrs. Karl Schackow, who resides here at the southeast city limit, is their sister. The burial of these two men so suddenly torn from this life took place Tuesday morning from the residence of their brother-in-law Harry Riley northwest of Oakwood.
