Makres Dies From Auto Collision After Morning Crash
Peter Makres 53 of 1014 Jefferson street died from head injuries after a car driven by George Mavrelis collided with H L Schuffman’s vehicle on Grant highway east of the city. Makres, a shoe repair shop proprietor, was thrown from the car and died at St. Francis hospital. The accident occurred as the Mavrelis auto, traveling west at an estimated 35 mph, struck the Schuffman car turning into a roadside inn driveway. Makres was born near Smyrna in 1876 and had lived in Waterloo since 1908, never married, with a brother in Greece or Greece-residing relative.
