Adams, Charles #2 (1863 - 1 NOV 1950)

Charles Adams, 86, a resident of Colby for 52 years, was killed the past week almost instantly about 8 o’clock in the evening when he was struck by a car driven by Peter Miller, 45, West Allis.

Adams was struck as he crossed Highway 13 in that city, and was dragged about 50 feet before the Miller car came to a stop.

Marathon County traffic officers who investigated said that Adams suffered compound fractures of both legs, internal chest injuries and multiple cuts and bruises.
