Notes for Lucia Byers:
- Watertown Daily Times (Watertown, NY), Saturday, 21 December 1935: A technical motion asking that certain provisions of the complaint in the negligence action of Lucia Lashomb, Potsdam, as administrator of Marion Lashomb, against Carl P. Ross, be stricken out was granted in part. The action is brought to recover $15,000 for the death of Marion Lashomb, Potsdam child, by an auto driving by Ross on the streets of Potsdam. The action will probably not come to trial until spring.
- Canton Commercial Advertiser, 25 May 1937: The trial of the negligence action of Lucia Lashomb as administrator of Marion Lashomb, an eleven year old girl against Carl P. Rose of Stockholm was continued and consumed the day. The little girl was hit by an automobile near the junction of Market and Elm streets in Potsdam village about seven o'clock on the evening of November 5, 1935, and received injuries which caused her death shortly afterward. It is a peculiar case. No one actually saw the accident. The little girl sold papers for Stanley Gotham and on the evening in question rode up to the station with him and back with the papers. He parked on the west side of Market "as Street and the girl got out, took '-- her papers and he says went diagonally across Market Street and was about the center of Elm and at the cross walk when he last saw her. An automobile went up Elm Street and he went up and saw the little girl lying near the center of the street and took her to the hospital where she died early the next morning. The coroner testified that at the inquest Gotham swore that the girl went diagonally across to the Holmes corner. Two young men who saw the girl lying in the street and helped pick her up placed her position as near the center of the street. (more details) The verdict was no cause for action.
