Stevens Point Daily Journal
Friday, 4 Feb 1916

INJURED GIRL MISS KORDA
Stunned in Collision of Cutter and Automobile Wednesday

Miss Mary Korda [Mae Korda-2], who resides out on Prentice street, was the young lady injured in the collision between a cutter and a Stevens Point Garage automobile driven by Frank Eiden at Strongs avenue and Park street Wednesday evening. She was stunned for a time by the shock of her fall. She struck on her head and was somewhat bruised but her injuries are not serious. She is still confined to her home but will soon be about as usual. Her companions in the cutter were her father [Anton Korda-3] and her sister, Anna [Anna Korda-2]. They were returning home from their day's work at one of the paper mills.

The accident was one of the unavoidable sort in which no one is to blame, it is stated, the concealment of the corner by the Oberlatz tailor shop being chiefly responsible.

1916 Anna Korda-2, Traffic Accident

The Gazette
Stevens Point, Wisconsin
9 Feb 1916

THROWN FROM CUTTER

Miss Mayme Corda [Mae Korda-2], 661 Prentice street, was painfully bruised last Wednesday evening, when a cutter and an automobile came together at the corner of Park street and Strongs avenue. Miss Corda, with her father, Anton Corda [Anton Korda-3], and sister, Miss Anna [Anna Korda-2], were returning from their work at the Whiting-Plover paper mill in a cutter and were turning north on Strongs avenue from Park street when an automobile driven by Frank Eiden drew up. Owing to the fact that the Oberlatz tailor shop screened the view, the occupants of the two vehicles did not become aware of their predicament until it was too late, but the driver of the car showed presence of mind by making a sharp turn, preventing a direct collision. As it was the cutter was somewhat damaged and its occupants thrown out. Miss Mayme Corda was the only one hurt to any extent, but her njuries were not serious, it is stated.
