13 May 1926 - West Branch Times

Hurled from his bicycle to the pavement when struck Friday evening by a car driven by John G. Sheetz, Leslie Sidwell, nine year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert B. Sidwell of Iowa City, died several hours later at the university hospital, where he was taken after the accident.

His companion, Edward Lambert, escaped with minor bruises.

Leslie was injured about the face and head; also internally. He was taken to the hospital and doctors performed an operation at 10 o'clock in an effort to save his life, but death came at 11:30 o'clock.

The unfortunate lad's father, A. B. Sidwell, is the owner of the West Branch Creamery. Mrs. Sidwell was formerly Miss Dell Randall, a West Branch girl. They have the sympathy of many friends in this vicinity and several drove over to attend the funeral Sunday afternoon.
