 Marmus William, nine year old son of William and Ellen Metca1f of Greenfield hill. died at the Bridgeport hospital Monday following an illness of three days. Tetanus was the cause of death. Several days ago the little fellow was at play in the fields where hay was being harvested. During play he jumped from a hay stack into a wagon, injalring his foot. The 1n- jury caused a confusion of the skin and flesh. No attention was paid to the wound other than washing slightly and bandagihg. However an infec- ton set in, followed by lockjaw, and in spite of every effort on the part of physicians to save the little lad, he suecumbed. At one time it was deem ed advisa b1e to- amputate the limb in
  of the infection had spread so far that it was abandoned. Funeral services for the remains of the little fellow were held yesterday with burial fol- lowing in Easton.
