INSTEAD OF SPENDING A HAPPY BIRTH
 DAY, CHARLES MIG CDERMoTT LAY
 DEAD DSUNDAY.--A DOUBLE TRAGEDY,
 It was a melancholy procession of vehicles that wended it's way from 6 Ehart street to St Edwards church, Woodland avenue and Geneva streeet, Cleveland, O., Monday, March II. It wasn't long prOceSSiOn-juSt hearSe and half dozen carriages, the somber color of the latter accentuated by the spotless white of the hearse which led them. Inside the hearse was a little white coffin covered over with flowers Along the short route which the pro- cession travelled from the house to the church there were many who knew that the little coffin contained the body of Charles Nc Dermott, 13 years old, son of John Mo Dermott. The lad was killed by Nickel-plate switch engine, Saturday.
 Directly behind the Nc Dermott home, and facing Frederick street is the home of George Moses. On the front door is wreath of flowers and in the darkened front room is another white casket covered with flowers. Beside it is grief-stricken mother weeping for her dead boy. In the cof- fin lies the body of Earl Stoner, 15 years old. id He was his mother sr's only child. Tuesday afternoon his body was buried in Woodland cemetery, af- ter services at the house. All day Sunday friends and classmates of the two boys came in to pay their last re- spects. Earl went to Lincoln school and was in the fifth grade. Charles was in the eighth grade at Quincy school. Both were popular with their classmates and were 1nseparable after school hours. Charles went to Earl's home Saturday. Together they left the house and 10 minutes later they were picked up mangled, from beneath the wheels of switch engine. The accident happened within stones throw of the home of both. Charles was one of eight children and the first one to die. Earl was an only son. Sunday was Charles 18th birthday. His brothers and sisters had bought him many little gifts, which they in- tended to present him, Sunday. These were buried with him in Calvary cem- etery.-[ Cleveland, O., Paper.J Master Charles Nc Dermott is the son of John Nc DermOtt, who moved away from Sandy Hook about five years ago.
