Subject: [IN-SOUTH-CENTRAL] Brown County: Ivan Sturgeon Died
Brown County (IN) Democrat, January 1, 1920, p. 1.
BOY'S BODY HORRIBLY MANGLED
We have received further particulars concerning the death of Ivan Sturgeon, 5-year-old son
of Ray Sturgeon, formerly of this county, mention of which we made last week.
The shocking accident in which the little fellow lost his life happened Sunday afternoon,
December 14, at 3:30 o'clock near the home of the lad's grandfather, John
Sturgeon, at Templeton, Indiana. An automobile driven by Walter Powell struck the boy
killing him instantly. There were several children playing and part of them were across
the road from the Sturgeon home, and "Jack," as he was known by his playmates,
did not see the auto as he started across the road to join the others. Powell saw the
children but did not see the little boy. He felt the car hit something and stopped,
backed up and found that Jack had been hit and killed, his body being horribly mangled.
The accident shocked the entire community. Ivan was born December 22, 1914, lacking but a
few days of being five years of age. He was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Sturgeon and
the parents are almost frantic with grief over his sudden death. Funeral services were
held at Templeton Tuesday afternoon and the burial was in the cemetery at Oxford.
