Aged Man Was Hit While Crossing Main Street Sunday Night
ONE KILLED IN 1935
Chauncey Crytz, 76-year-old Scio township man, yesterday afternoon became Ann Arbor's sixth traffic fatality of the month and the seventh of the year when he died at St. Joseph's Mercy hospital of injuries suffered on N. Main St. Sunday night.
The death made the total for 1936 here equal to that of the three entire years from 1933 through 1935.
Mr. Crytz was hit by a car driven by Glenford Hanson, 24, Route 1, Saline. According to police, Mr. Crytz got out of his car, parked on the west side of Main St. and started across in the middle of the block toward the post office. Hanson took the pedestrian to the hospital, where it was found that a lung had been punctured by broken ribs.
Lived in Ann Arbor
Although born in New York, Mr. Crytz had resided most of his life in Ann Arbor and Scio. He lived during the winters at 120 1/2 W. Washington St. here. He was twice married. His first wife, formerly Rose Cunningham of Dexter, died in 1906, and he later married Alvina Ehrenberg of Ann Arbor, who died in 1934.
Surviving are a sister, Mrs. Frank Clancey of Niagara Falls, N. Y.; five nephews, and a niece.
Funeral services will be held 9:30 Saturday morning at St. Joseph's Catholic church, Dexter, with burial in St. Joseph's cemetery there. Friends may call at the Muehlig chapel here.
