Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - June 13, 1903 ALMOST KILLED BY AUTO Philip R. THEOBOLD and his son Franklin, of Glenside, this county, were seriously injured in an automobile accident Saturday afternoon near Norristown. They were on their way to Norristown in a new "red devil." The machine, which was being guided by the younger man, became unmanageable while going down a steep hill, and ran into a wall. Both men were thrown heavily and were badly lacerated about the body and limbs. One of Philip R. THEOBALD's legs was broken and he was unconscious for a time. The machine was damaged beyond repair. Mr. THEOBOLD lives at 1635 North Broad street, Philadelphia, in the winter. He has a beautiful country place on Willow Grove Pike, Glenside. He was a former resident of Pennsburg, and owns a small farm near the heart of the town. Mr. THEOBALD is under the care of a few physicians, one of them being Prof. John DEAVER who has little hopes for his recovery.
