DURWOOD LEWIS LOST LIFE BY ACCIDENT WEDNESDAY
FELL FROM A BOAT AND WAS IMPALED ON AN IRON OAR PIN
While a number of families of the Shults community were spending the day at Eagletown crossing, on Little River, about ten miles northeast of this city, Durwood Lewis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Lewis, who were members of the party, received such serious injuries that he died from their effects eighteen hours later.
Some of the men and boys were in bathing, and in diving from a boat one of the boys overbalanced the boat in which the Lewis boy was standing, causing him to fall on an iron oar pin of the boat. The iron pin stuck him in the stomach with such force as to inflict such a serious wound that death resulted in about eighteen hours. The accident occurred about one o'clock Wednesday afternoon, and the accident victim died early Thursday morning. He was fifteen years of age.
The funeral was held at Denison Cemetery Thursday afternoon at 1:00 and services were conducted by Rev. Geo. S. Job of the Baptist Church.
