    From Shirley Douglas:
    Obituary from the Lincoln Nebraska Newspaper in 1925:
    "CHILD KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE" . "Bertha Sullivan, 3, Victim of Accident At Home Near Denton."

    "Bertha Sullivan, 3 year old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Eugene Sullivan of Denton, died at St Elizabeth's Hospital late Monday afternoon from injuries received when she was run over by an automobile at her home earlier in the afternoon. She was playing in the yard back of the car, which had no occupants, when the automobile started to roll backwards toward the child. The child was caught under the wheels as it ran down the slope. The motor was not running, it was stated. The girl was rushed to Lincoln in a car, but died here at 6 o'clock. Death probably resulted from internal injuries, it is thought. She is survived by her parents, three sisters and a brother. The body is being held at Splain and Schnell's chapel pending funeral arrangements. Funeral services will be held at St Mary's Catholic Church in Denton at 9 A.M., Wednesday. Rev. Corcoran will have charge. Burial in Calvary Cemetery. The body is being held at the home."
