Not All Joy, Though, At V-J Day Celebration, the Injury of Martha Suknaich

From the August 19, 2020, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1945, 75 Years Ago.

"Condition of Martha Suknaich, 1114 Oak Street, who was injured when she fell from a car during the Victory celebration, was reported as being better this morning and she is resting much easier.

"Martha was riding on the running board of a car and fell to the pavement near the intersection of Lincoln Highway and First Street.  She suffered a head injury in the fall and may have a slight  skull fracture."

I looked her up and found that she recovered and died January 29, 2007, according to her obituary.  She was a 1945 graduate of DeKalb High School.  Her name at the time of her death was Martha N. Suknaich-Fulton.
