"The Kansas City Star" (Missouri) Sunday, April 11, 1915 SPEED SAVED RUNAWAY VICTIM. The promptness with which Dr. Fred N. PUGSLEY rushed her to a hospital probably saved the life of Mrs. Vincenta LONZA, 310 Charlotte Street, who with her husband and a 1-year-old child were injured in a runaway along Independence Avenue yesterday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. LONZA were returning from the East Side Hospital, where they had been to visit a friend who was ill. The horse became frightened at some object along the roadside as it neared Olive Street, and dashed wildly west along the avenue. A motor car pursuit of the flying vehicle took place, with Dr. PUGSLEY's car in the lead. The horse suddenly turned south at Woodland Avenue, the buggy tipped over and its three occupants were thrown to the pavement. Mrs. LONZA held her small son, Mariano, tightly in her arms and saved him from injury. Doctor PUGSLEY applied emergency treatment to the injured woman and rushed her to the General Hospital. There examination showed that she had suffered severe wounds about the face, head and body. At first it was believed her skull had been fractured. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
