ACCIDENT PROVES FATAL TO LEWIS GREENINGER
Popular Young Man Dies as Result of Injuries Received Saturday Night Near Gilroy
Lewis Greeninger, one of the members of the firm of A. Greeninger and Sons, the pioneer carriage works of the valley, died shortly after 4 a.m. yesterday at the Belvadere Hospital on North Third street as a result of injuries received in an automobile accident just south of Morgan Hill, on the Monterey road.  Greeninger was one of a party of four consisting besides himself of Eugene Prindiveille, Eugene Cooper and Charles Kenyon.  The machine is a Buick, the property of Cooper, who was at the wheel.  The party was proceeding south toward the ranch of A. Greeninger at a good rate of speed when the machine ran onto a culvert.  One side of the roadway over the culvert is high and on the other there is a rut.  Greeninger was dozing in his seat and the lurch of the machine when the wheels on his side of the auto went into the rut threw him over the side into the roadway.  He was picked up partially stunned but soon recovered sufficiently to be able to assure his companions that he was not badly hurt.  He was, however, taken back immediately to Dr. Clark's sanitarium at Gilroy, where he was treated.  Feeling certain that his injuries would not prove fatal or even serious, the other members of the party then proceeded on to Greeninger's ranch.  On Sunday night they returned to San Jose through Gilroy, and visited the hospital where they found Greeninger apparently on the road to recovery.  He gave some verbal messages to Mr. Kenyon to be delivered to his brother Reuben, in this city, after having asked to be brought back in the automobile with his friends.  This step was not taken for the reason that his friends did not care to risk bringing him home in the machine in such cold weather.
Brought to San Jose
Monday morning Mr. Kenyon received a telephone message from Gilroy to meet an afternoon train as Lewis was returning to San Jose, but Reuben Greeninger, when told, decided to go to Gilroy in a machine to bring the injured man home.  This was done and he was taken immediately to the Belvedere Hospital.  Mr. Kenyon visited him there on Monday and found him delirious and was told that he had been so practically ever since his return.
Dr. Brown attended him here.  His skull between the temples was fractured and he had sustained internal injuries.
A particularly sad feature of the case is that both A. Greening, father of the young man, and the mother, are seriously ill at their home at the corner of Orchard and Balbach streets, and that the news of the death of their son may proved a serious shock to either of them.
Kenyon's Statement
Charles Kenyon, who was occupying the rear seat of the automobile with Greeninger when the accident occurred is with the other members of the party, almost beside himself with grief over the tragedy.  He made a statement to the Mercury yesterday describing the accident.  He said: "We were going to the elder Greeninger's ranch on the Watsonville road south of Madrone and struck a culvert which is high on one side with a chuck-hole in the other.  Lew was dozing in his seat and the shock threw him over the side.  We tried to grab his clothing but all of us failed.  We were on a quail hunt and had our guns and ammunition in the bottom of the auto raising the flooring on which our feet rested and making it more difficult for one to hold a position in the car when the jolt came.  Lew struck on his head, but when we picked him up seemed to rally from a temporary stunning and told us that he was all right.  He was bleeding profusely, however, about his head and we decided the best t!
hing to do was to take him back to Gilroy as quickly as possible.  There we left him at Dr. Clark's sanitarium and when it appeared that he would not prove badly hurt we continued on to the ranch and returned Sunday night.  He gave me some messages for Reuben and then we came on to San Jose.  Monday I received a message from the hospital to meet him at the train as he was coming home and late Rube told me that he would go down and bring his brother home in a machine.
"This was done and they took him to the Belvadere Hospital where I saw him Monday and where he quickly went into delirium after having recognized me.  He asked him how I was and then seemed to lose his head.  I asked how long he had been delirious and was told ever since he had been brought home."
The dead man is exceptionally well known in San Jose, having lived here all his life.  He was a member of Garden City Parlor, Native Sons.
The funeral will be held Friday morning at 9:30 from the home, 496 Orchard street, thence to St. Joseph's Church.
