YOUTH, 14, KILLED IN MOUNTAIN FALL
Michael Lange Moret, 14, of New York, was killed April 22 in an accidental fall down Stone Mountain near Atlanta.
Young Moret and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Moret, had been visiting relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Morris Boss, his aunt and uncle, in Atlanta during the Passover holidays. They had planned to leave for home Monday, but the youth begged to see the mountain. Police said he apparently went around the end of a safety fence and walked too near the cliff side. His tennis shoes were worn through the sides in an effort to stop his slide.
Rabbi Emanuel Feldman conducted the funeral at Blanchard's Chapel April 24. Burial was in Greenwood Cemetery.
Survivors include a sister, Eileen Moret, all of New York, and a grandfather, Henry Lange of Atlanta. The youth's father was identified as a trainer for the New York Giants football team.
