Lima News, January 3, 1937....."The first suit of the new January term of Allen County Common Pleas Court to be filed Saturday in the office of J.H. Ruhlen, clerk of courts, was one for $20,000 against Lester L. Clymer of Bluffton, a road contractor. The suit was filed by Mrs. Estelle Uphold of Delaware, O., mother of Loma Scott, 23 who died July 8 of injuries she alleged to have suffered when an automobile in which she was riding turned over July 2 on Highway No. 30S. near Elida. The car was driven by her step-father, frank Uphold. The petition alleges the car skidded off the road on a curve and turned over in a ditch. The complaint contends that employees of Clymer, who held a contract for improvements in the vicinity, had permitted clay to fall on the highway from trucks during the course of the work and that this clay was made slippery by a rain which fell July 2. The complaint alleges that Clymer was negligent in permitting this condition to develop, It also is contended that he was negligent through failure to provide warning to motorists of the dangerous condition of the highway." Lima News, April 5, 1938........INSURANCE FIRM DEFENDANT IN SUIT........Suit for $2986.04, was started Tuesday in common pleas court by LYLA Clymer, contractor, of Bluffton against The London Guarantee and Accident Company Ltd. The plaintiff alleges that he took out an insurance policy with the defendant, which purported to protect him against liability. The petition further states that on July 2,1936, Loma Scott, of Delaware, O., suffered fatal injuries when the automobile in which she was riding, overturned on a stretch of highway which was being improved by the plaintiff. The accident, according to the petition, was caused by loose earth which was left on the highway by employees of the plaintiff. The administrator of the estate of Mr. Scott brought a $20,000 damage suit in Allen County Common Pleas Court against Clymer and a jury after day's deliberation failed to arrive at a verdict. The case was later settled out of court for $2025.75. The balance of the amount claimed due in the petition was expended for legal services. |
