Newspaper (possibly the "Oakland Press") account of her untimely death:
EVELYN SWEENEY VICTIM OF MISHAP
----------------
DEATH FOURTH IN WEEK AT SAME INTERSECTION
----------------
DRIVER FREED OF BLAME
----------------
Death today had claimed its fourth victim in a week at Orchard Lake and Ten Mile Roads, a 27 year old school teacher succumbing Monday night to injuries she suffered there earlier in the day in an automobile accident.
The latest victim was Miss Evelyn Sweeney, a resident of Lapeer and a teacher in the Novi Stone School who was injured fatally when the car in which she was said to have been hurrying to classes collided with a truck.
Miss Sweeney died in Redford Receiving Hospital at 9pm, approximately 12 hours after the accident. Last Tuesday, Dr John F. Thomas, Deputy Superintendent of Detroit Public Schools, and a Farmington farmer and his son, William and Paul Killen, died as a result of an accident at the same spot.
Deputy Joseph DeVriendt reported that Miss Sweeney's car crashed into a truck driven by George E. Scolles, 23, of Keego Harbor, overturning the truck and wrecking the automobile. Scolles, treated for a sprained ankle, was released from the hospital.
Subsequently, Scolles was released by the prosecutor's office after making a statement.
Miss Sweeney was the daughter of Mr and Mrs John Sweeney of Hadley Township. She was a graduate of St Frederick High School, Pontiac, and of Lapeer County Normal School. She had taught in Kile and Red Schools in Lapeer County and in Brighton Township, Oakland County.
Besides her parents, she is survived by seven brothers, James, Joe, John, Francis and Emmett of Lapeer, Charles of Lake Orion, Harry of Oxford; and two sisters, Mrs Harry Wright of Pontiac and Mrs Patrick Shields of Birmingham.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete. The body is at the Baird Funeral Home in Lapeer.
