his life almost instantly. He was
not conscious after the accident and
breathed his last just as his grief
stricken father reached him, having
ran all the way from the postoffice.
The accident was not only an almost
unbearable blow to Mr.. and Mrs.
Kirby but was shock to the entire
community. Only an hour or two
before his death little Freddie had
been to his father and got nickel
with which to buy some little trinket
for his sister, who was eight years
old that day. She put her arms
around his neck and kissed him and he
ran away happily, and only an hour
or so later his lifeless body was
brought oack to the stricken home.
The funeral service was held Sun
day at l O'Clock at the NJ. E. church,
Rev. E. O. Harris officiating. The
interment took place at the Valley
cemetery, the body being borne to
it's final rest by Clarence Randles,
Alfred Middleton, Lte McEuen,
Floyd Carter, Arthur Hahn and
Wray Harris.
