Little Boy Coaster Struck By Motor - dies in hospital. Amos Duncan, aged ten years - victim of accident on Wednesday night. The first fatal coasting accident of the year occurred last night when Amos Duncan, 10, of 530 Jefferson Street was struck by an automobile on Lime Street, near the General Hospital. He died at 2:15 o'clock this morning in the hospital. Amos was son of Albert Duncan, 622 Hebrank Street, but made his home with Charles Ream on Jefferson Street. The machine which struck him was driven by R. Pat Bergen, 155 East King Street. Last night in company with a number of boys, Duncan spent part of the evening sledding. According to Mr. Bergen, he was driving towards his home on Lime Street, when he found the boys crowded around his machine. He made every effort, he claimed, to avoid running them down but the front wheels passed over the Duncan boy as he was knocked to the ground. Duncan suffered wounds, a broken collar-bone and concussion of the brain. Before midnight it was hoped that he might recover; but after that hour his condition gradually became worse and he died. He was born April 8, 1913, at Witmer and resided in this city about six years. He was a pupil of the New Street school. The parents survive and the following brothers and sisters: Paul, Raymond, Ethel Verna, William, Lewis, Albert and Edna M., wife of Charles Ream, with whom he resided. The funeral service will be held Saturday morning at 10 o'clock at the home of his sister, Mrs. Charles Ream, 558 North Jefferson Street. Interment will be in the Lancaster Cemetery.
