KENDRICK DOCTOR KILLED ON WAY HOME FROM VISITING RELATIVES HERE

Blinding lights cause death of Dr. W.T. Seeley, son in law of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Moyer of Ontario.

Dr. W.T. Seeley of Kendrick, Idaho, died at 9:30 Sunday morning at the Holy Rosary hospital from injuries received when he was struck as he was changing a tire on his car near Cambridge, Saturday night.

With Mrs. Seeley, he had been a guest at the home of Mrs. Seeley’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Moyer, who live southwest of Ontario, and was enroute home when a rear tire puncture caused him to stop. As he was taking off the spare tire, with Mrs. Seeley watching him, a light car driven my Elmer Cummings of Cambridge, crashed into him. Cummings, it was said, claimed he was blinded by the lights of a car that had just passed the Seeley auto.

Dr. Whitman of Cambridge, brought Dr. Seeley to Ontario, where he died, having never recovered from the shock. He was conscious to the end. Dr. Seeley is survived by his widow, a son, Paul Seeley of Chelan, and a daughter, Miss Mildred of Seattle. He was 53 years old and a member of the Moscow lodge of Elks.
