Time Line

1909. January 30. Interurban officials in Muskegon announced this afternoon that there would be no more cars between this city and Grand Rapids for at least 24 hours. Three cars are stuck between the two towns with many passengers on board. The storm in Muskegon may result in one death. Olaf Ball was struck by a street car in a blinding snow storm this morning. He was hurled 20 feet and internal injuries may cause his death. [DFP-1909-0131]
