Lockport NY Union Sun Journal - 3/19/1934
Instantly killed at 1:45 o'clock
yesterday morning when he was
run over in Main street by three
speeding automobiles, Emory Ludwig,
51, will be buried tomorrow
afternoon in North Ridge cemetery
after funeral services at 3:30
o'clock at the home of his brother,
Burt Ludwig, Beebe road, town of
Wilson.
Police today were without a clue
to the identity of the motorists
who continued east after passing
over the prostrate form of the man
who stumbled and fell in front of
them while crossing Main street,
midway between Pine and Cottage
street, according to Delos Kunkel,
165 South Transit street, an eye
witness.
Ludwig's skull was badly crushed
and his body was taken direct to
the funeral home of Clemens Gaul,
South Transit street. The Kennedy
ambulance was called by police
but was not used when a preliminary
examination revealed the
man was dead. Dr. F. A. Kittinger,
coroner, plans to hold an
inquest later.
Although Kunkel and Harold
Cross, 50 Chestnut street, another
motorist, both reported seeing the
hit-run automobiles, neither was
able to note the license numbers.
There was rain and snow in the air
at the time and visibility was poor.
By the-time the two witnesses of
the fatality had stopped to examine
the victim the other motorists bad
passed out of sight.
Kunkel told the police he
driving west in Main
he saw Ludwig
the north to the
way the man apparently stumbled
and fell in the path of the three
automobiles. All three cars passed
over the body, he said.
Mr. Ludwig, who was employed
by the Thatcher Manufacturing
company in Michigan street, lived
in the Niagara hotel, Niagara and
South Transit streets. He came
to Lockport from Newfane about 14
years ago.
Surviving him are his wife,
Sadie Ludwig, Newfane; a daughter,
Mabel, Chicago; and three
brothers, George and Burt, Wilson,
and Glenn, Buffalo.
