My Dad's Sledding Accident

Submitted by: Betty Schneider Bryant

My Dad, Walter Schneider, lived on Wright Street in West Covington and later moved to 513 Crescent Ave.

When he was about 12, he and his brother Charles and friends were sledding down Western Ave. and Dad ran into a street car. Luckily, it had a cow catcher and the only injury was to his chin. He carried a scar until he died in 1965.
