Obituary from page 5 of the Louisville Herald on 16 Sep 1937:
GIRL, 4, KILLED IN ROAD MISHAP
Betty Marie Brahler, aged 4 years, was fatally injured
Tuesday afternoon, when she ran into the side of an auto near her
home a mile east of route 44 on the Maximo-North Canton road,
deputies reported.
Nick Pummeo, 20, driver of the car, told deputy sheriffs
he had been threshing and was on his way to his home a mile west
of route 62 on the same road. As he approached the Brahler home,
he said, he reduced his speed when he saw Kenneth Brahler, brother
of the girl, cross the road with a wheelbarrow. An instant later, he
said, the little girl ran across the roadway and into his car.
His view of the accident scene was obstructed by high
weeds and banks, according to his statement. Coroner E. C. Reno
investigated the case Tuesday night and returned a finding of acciden-
tal death, exonerating the driver.
The child is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oswald
Brahler; three sisters, Mrs. Thelma Hay (sic), living near Louisville;
Jane and Theresa Ann, and two brothers, Vernon and Kenneth, all of
the home.
Services Friday morning at 9 at St. Joseph?s Catholic church
at Maximo in charge of Rev. Fr. McMahon. Burial at Maximo.
