On 8 sept. 1910 happened a accident in Chicago. The newspaper says:
"BURN TO DEATH. Three Are buried Into Car Loaded with Molten Metal. CHICAGO. Sept. 8.-Two women and a man were burned to death in South Chicago to-night when the automobile in which they were .riding crashed into a car loaded with molten from the Wisconsin Steel Company. Miss Anna Baker, the fourth member of the automobile party, escaped death by jumping, but was badly, bruised and burned. The dead are Peter C. Lesterhouse, contractor; Mrs. Peter Lesterhouse, and Mrs. Brand Hunt of Bnglewood. The automobile was two blocks from the car when it started to cross the tracks. The slag train, backing on the track, hit the automobile, cutting it in half. The occupants were literally buried under tons of the white-hot slag metal. The automobile was set on fire by the slag and the gasoline tank exploded."

I think that this Peter Lesterhouse (married to Agnes Baker) was the son of Klaas and Wyke Lesterhouse and was born on the 5th June 1875 in Kalamazoon. Can anyone confirm that ??

On the 8th september 1910 also died in Chicago; Dina Kunst. I think that she was the wife of Frederick Kunst and was the daughter of John and Alberta Lesterhouse (John was the brother of Klaas Lesterhouse), and was born on 26th September 1881 in Kalamazoo. Can anyone confirm this ?

If these assumptions are right, is it a coïncidence that Dina died on the same day as her cousin Peter ?

Thanks for your replies,
