May 29, 1903 – On this date, while driving some friends up and down Sibley Ave. in St.
Paul to show off the new car he had recently purchased, Horace Irvine, son of
wealthy lumber baron Thomas Irvine, accidently hit and killed an eight-year-old
girl at the intersection of St. Albans
Street and Selby Avenue. This was
reportedly the first car fatality in St. Paul.
