LITTLE CHAP MEETS UNTIMELY DEATH
John Arthur Highley, son of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Highley was instantly killed last Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock, on old No. 5 tracks. He with a number of other little fellows, among whom were his two brothers, were playing near the tracks at No. 5, where there was some coal car trucks, and in some way one of the cars was loosened and must have hit the boy, for the only bruise is a big gash over the right eye. The brother went home to carry the news of the accident but when the parents got to the scene of the accident, the boy was found to be beyond help.
The boys who were with him are unable to tell exactly how it happened as they were so frightened.
The funeral was held at the home at No. 4 on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Powell having charge of the services. Six of his school mates acted as pallbearers and the pupils in his room marched to the cemetery carrying the beautiful flowers that were sent by his mates and friends of the family. The bereaved family has the sympathy of th the community in the loss of the ten year old son and brother.
