Elbert LeSuer

Bainbridge News, January 31, 1952

It has been reported by the State Troopers of the Sidney Barracks that it had definitely established that Elbert LeSuer, 34, of Afton [Chenango Co., NY] had died as the result of a bicycle accident and not a hit and run driver as rumored.  LeSuer, who lives on what is known as Long Hill, near Afton, was apparently riding his bicycle down the hill last Monday afternoon, Jan. 21, and struck a spot of ice.  The wheel evidently skidded from under him and threw him heavily to the pavement.  He was picked up and taken to The Hospital, Sidney, in an ambulance where he died late Monday night of a fractured skull.  In Afton, Thursday it was revealed that LeSuer was the third in a series of Family accidents.  In 1940, his father was killed in the woods when a tree fell on him; and in 1950 an uncle was killed at the Dairymen's League crossing in Afton.  Mr. LeSuer lived alone in a tenant house on the Irving More farm and was unemployed at present.  He was believed to have been coming to Afton for his lunch.  He is survived by a wife and two children, whose whereabouts are unknown; two sisters, Mrs. Vera Oles, Binghamton, and Mrs. Elva Dewey, Rockdale; a brother, Raymond, of Binghamton; and several uncles and aunts.  Mrs. Smith Judd, of Afton, is an aunt and Ted DeMorier, an uncle. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon at the Fisher Funeral Home in Bainbridge with burial in the East Side Cemetery, Afton.
