RODE TO HIS DEATH.
Young Eckard Instantly Killed When
His Bicycle COllided with team.

In most unusual accident
Maurice N. Eckard son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Newton Eckard and grandson OF
the late Jesse Eckard, met instant
death On Sunday, September 10th On
the Long Green road about half a
mile from Long Green Station, on
the Maryland and Pennsylvania Rail
road.
He had been to the station on his
bicycle to meet the train for Balti-
more and was returning home when,
At point On the road just where the
Pennsylvania Light e Power Com
pany's transmission line crosses, he
ran into double team driven BY
Eugene Wheatley and was instantly
killed.
The pole OF the buggy struck the
boy On the nose and penetrated the
brain nearly two inches: the
horses stopped Immediately and the
boy dropped to the ground. Mr.
Wheatley with his wife and baby,
we're IN the buggy when the accident
occurred. They got out and Mrs.
Wheatley tenderly lifted the youth to
ne road side while Mr.. Wheatley
drove for Dr. John Green, about a
quarter Of a mile away. The Doctor
returned with him and found the
body lifeless.
The father and mother OF young
Eckard, who with their two other
children were driving on ahead OF
the lad and had Just pulled to the
side Of the road to let the team pass,
knew nothing Of the accident until
nearly home. When the Doctor
reached the sad scene he hastily sent
youth for the parents Of the boy to
tell them an accident had occurred
and it was thought their boy was
hurt They hurriedly drove back
and viewed the gruesome sight at
the side Of the road, the same place
where Just few minutes before
they had been laughing and talking.
The little family returned full OF sorr
row
From the fact that the horses
stopped at once it is supposed that
Maurice had been riding along with
MS head down and was on the team
before he knew it. The accident hap
pened about nine O'Clock at night
and apparently one did not see the
other.
The funeral services were held at
the home Of his uncle, Charles Z.
Yingling, 1921 Walbrook avenue,
Baltimore, On Wednesday, Septem-
Der 13, at 80 o'clock d. M. Inter
ment at Lorraine Cemetery.
