Arnold Peets: Chateaugay
Record, Friday, 30 November 1934: Fatally injured in an automobile
accident Sunday afternoon, November 18, Arnold Peets, 20, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Peets of Saratoga, died in the Physicians hospital at
Plattsburgh late last Wednesday night. It will be recalled that the young
man accompanied by his parents and a younger brother, were enroute from their
home to Chateaugay to attend the funeral of the late Alfred Peets, when
the car in which they were riding crashed through a guard rail on a long curve
in the Ausable Chasm road. The four occupants of the car were injured and
being taken to the Plattsburgh hospital, it was not considered that Arnold was
seriously injured although he suffered a fractured leg and minor bruises.
A more thorough examination however revealed that his condition was critical and
he gradually weakened until Wednesday night when the end came. His remains
were taken to Saratoga Springs where funeral services were held Saturday morning
with solemn requiem high mass at St. Peter's church. The funeral was
attended by several undergraduates of the Albany College of Pharmacy where Mr.
Peets was on the dean's list and recently elected to Kappa Psi, national
honorary fraternity. He was also a member of the finance board and
secretary of the staffs of Mortar and Pestle and Alembie Pharmaton, college
publication. The parents of the deceased were former residents of Merrill,
and numerous relatives of the young man are residents of this community.

Items in RED have been verified against parish register entries. New York birth/marriage/death items in RED have come from newspaper obituaries, some marriage announcements, and occasional birth announcements. In a few obituaries, the birth/marriage year given may not match up to census notations/childrens' births, so I have adjusted those accordingly.
