This image displays a vintage newspaper clipping titled “BOSTON NEWS CLIP,” printed on aged, cream-colored paper affixed to a larger, plain gray backing sheet.
The clipping originates from the Journal of Providence, R.I., as indicated beneath the Boston address: “120 Tremont Street, Boston 8, Mass.” A stamped date, “JUN 19 1950,” is prominently displayed in black ink across the top of the article.
The article reports the tragic death of Anne Scott Thompson, 25, who was the Assistant Curator of the Fogg Museum at Harvard University. She died from injuries sustained the previous night when she was struck by an automobile while cycling on Coolidge Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts. According to the article, she succumbed at Mt. Auburn Hospital due to a skull fracture and internal injuries; she also suffered a fracture of her right leg.
The driver, Henry M. Lowe, 25, of Somerville, was charged with manslaughter, driving to endanger, drunken driving, and drunkenness. A passenger in the car, Leo Kane, 34, also of Somerville, suffered a possible skull fracture and was listed in “fair” condition at the hospital.
Handwritten red ink markings appear on the clipping: “12 & F” is written vertically near the top right, possibly an archival or filing notation. A red line underlines the phrase “Victim of Crash Injuries.” Additionally, there is faint pencil writing above the headline that appears to read “Burial will be in River Bend Cemetery, Westerly.”
The clipping is typewritten in a compact, traditional newsprint font, with bolded headings and clear paragraph breaks, typical of mid-20th century journalism. The photograph captures the clipping flatly, centered on the gray background, suggesting it was preserved for historical or personal record-keeping.
In summary, this is a 1950 newspaper clipping announcing the untimely death of Anne Scott Thompson, a Harvard museum curator, in a bicycle accident involving a drunk driver. The document includes details of the incident, aftermath, and legal charges, and bears archival markings indicating it was preserved and possibly cataloged.
