“John Iango, 39, of 602 West Buffalo street, an employee [sic] of the Morse Chain Company, died at 9:55 o’clock at night at the City Hospital of a fractured skull and other injuries which he received three hours previously in an automobile accident on the Ithaca-Cortland state road in front of the l. F. Davis farm, one mile north of Dryden Village, near Lacey’s Corners.
Iango was one of a party of six, including Frank Daino of 322 North Meadow street, owner and driver of the car; Bruno Mazza of 414 North Meadow street, well known Italian baker and grocer, and Nicholas Dechellis of 702 West Mill street, who were returning to this city after a day’s visit to friends in Cortland. Their wives were proceeding behind them in another car.
Daino was driving a new Studebaker touring which he had purchased only a few months ago. Coming down the long hill east of Lacey’s Corners, the touring car gained such momentum that shortly after Daino turned his car to one side to pass another machine on the grade he lost control of it and it left the roadway, ran into a ditch and overturned.
…
Iango’s body was removed to the undertaking parlors of J. E. Shea. He leaves his wife, two sons, Carmine and Joseph; three daughters, Lucy, Theresa, and Antoinette, all of this city, and two brothers….”
