A copy of the following newspaper article, hand-identified as coming from the September 24, 1931, Lowell Tribune, was found in the Lowell Public Library's clipping files:
YOUNG MAN KILLED
WHILE WALKING ON ROAD 41 SOUTH OF RIVER
Edward Kacin, 22 years of age, of Chicago, was struck by an automobile just south of the river bridge on road 41 Sunday morning while walking on the road. The car that struck him was driven by Parker Brothers, of Remington. It seems, from what we can learn, that the man was one of a party of seven who came out from Chicago on their way to Sumava, and when they arrived at Schneider, they had engine trouble and left their car there to be repaired and were walking to Sumava. Mr. Kacin was on the opposite side of the road from the rest of the party and went to cross the pavement, not seeing any cars coming, and the car hit him and threw him into the ditch before the driver could stop. Parker Brothers took the man in their [sic] car and rushed him to Lowell, and he died at the Main garage before medical aid could reach him.
The remains were then taken to the Sheets and Son undertaking rooms. An undertaker came down later in the day from Chicago and took the remains to that city for burial.
