DAVID WHITFIELD.
Statement Of Facts in Connection With
His Sad Death at Reuben
MellOtt'S.

Inc information given last
week in connection with the death
of David Whitfield, was so unsat-
isfactory that his friends request
that we publish the following:
He was a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
David Whitfield, of Bedford coun.
ty, his father having died a few
years ago. For some time the
boy had his home with his broth.
er Thomas. He then came to
make his home with Reu ben S.
Mellott near Slpes Mill. David
had only been IN his new home
tive weeks when the sad accident
occurred on Saturday evening
about 4 o'clock, October 1st.
David and Reuben had been out
IN field seeding that day. David
was narrowing and Reuben was
drilling. Having finished the
field that evening, David brought
the harrow and his team in from
the field and drove somewhere
near the barn, and was unhitch-
ing while Reuben had brought
the drill and his team to the wag
on shed. Reuben walked through
the wagon shed, and was talking
to Martin Mellott, when he heard
David hollow, whoa! atthe horses.
He had partly unhitched when
the horses thought they were
free and started for the stable.
Martin and Reuben saw one
horse rare up on its hind feet,
and by some mysterious way fall

David, mangllng his body badly.
He had his shoulder blade, collar
bone, and arm broken, besides
many other injuries. HIS man.
gled body was carried to the
house, unconscious. All that low
ing and kind hands could do was
done for him, but nothing could
save his life. In less than an
hour afterward, he had passed to
his home beyond.
David was a kind, honest, and
loving boy. He will be greatly
missed by the many new friends
