Damage action filed 1946 Strange suit against William Kaylor. Kaylor apparently loaned a car to Hilda and Ralph Moore, who were then involved in an accident with William Taylor. Taylor names Kaylor as a defendant with the Moore's seeking $800 in damages: "William S. Taylor asks $800 damages as the result of an automobile collision July 6 with Hilda and Ralph Moore. The Moore's and W. W. Kaylor are named as defendants in the proceedings. Mr. Taylor avers that the accident occurred two miles northeast of Eminence at a highway intersection, and charges two of the defendants, Hilda and Ralph Moore, with traveling at an excessive rate of speed and failing to exercise proper caution in crossing the intersection. The automobile driven by the Moore's was owned by Mr. Kaylor, who also is listed as a defendant. Plaintiff asks the damages for his 1938 Ford Tudor, which he claims, was demolished by the collision." |

Car accident suit continued 1948 Several newspaper reports chronicle the progress of the car accident suit as it winds its way the the courts. This article summarizes the status of the suit 18 months on from the accident. William Taylor has upped his damages claim substantially. Injuries to children involved are mentioned for the first time. Oddy Taylor only asks for payment ($10,000) for injuries to himself. Kaylor has asked to be excused from the suit entirely: "The suit resulted from an accident July 6, 1946, when the plaintiff, a five and a half-year-old child, was injured when the car occupied by the Moores collided with the one in which he was riding near Eminence. Damages of $5,000 are asked. The car driven by Moore was owned by W. W. Kaylor. Mr. Kaylor recently filed his answer to a damage complaint of William S. Taylor, in connection with the same accident. In this suit, Taylor asked $800 damages to the car and $10,000 for injuries to himself." |

Damage suits against William Kaylor dismissed 1948 Over two years after first filing, the damages suits against William Kaylor related to the Jul 1946 car accident between the William Taylor and the Moores are dismissed. Taylor's suits targeting the Moore's who were driving Kaylor's car and caused the accident apparently continue: "Two damage suits, naming W. W. Kaylor as defendant, have been dismissed by the plaintiff, with permission of the court. One suit was filed by William S. Taylor and the other by Robert Taylor, by his next friend, William S. Taylor. Other defendants in the suits, which are the result of an auto accident last winter, are Hilda and Ralph Moore." Never clear who the "next friend" Robert Taylor was and how he was involved in the incident. Note the children mentioned in the previous article have gone missing again. |
