ERNEST VINEYARD
A Former Marion Boy Kills Himself al
Los Angeles, California

Letters received by friends in the
city from Mrs. VIM. James who NOV
ed from this city about two years
ago to Los angeles, CAL, brings the
distressing news that her son by her
first marriage, Ernest Vineyard, a
bright boy about sixteen years old
had killed himself while out hunting
rabbits. The presumption is that
the killing was accidental although
nothing positively is known as he
was found dead by his step-father
with the gun lying near him.
Ernest was a news boy in Los An
geles and his route covered a large
territory requiring him TO ride each
day about twenty-five miles to de-
liver his papers.
He will be remembered by many OF
the citizens of Marion as boy of
unusually bright mind and, although
a cripple he was very ambitious to
improve his condition and let no ef-
fort go by to elevate himself in a
moral, educational and financial way.
