Vinton Hering's Death the Result OF
Terrible Accident.

The funeral services OF Frank Vim
ton Herring, the 12-year-old son of Mrs
Herring and the late Charles E. Herring
were held Monday afternoon from the
home Of his grandfather, Mr.. Frank
S. Vinton, in Camden, N. J. 1t was
announced i'm last weeks Advocate
that the boy had died suddenly on
Thursday, April 80. but it was not
known here until Saturday morning
that his death was due to terrible
accident which is described as fol-
lows in the Philadelphia Record:
For several hours Thursday night
the badly-mangled body of a hand
some lad of 12 years, the victim Of q
trolley car, lay In the Camden
Morgue awaiting Identification. Then
DIR. Marcy who learned of the tragedy,
and also knew that 12-year-old Vinton
Herring had not returned from a
bicycle ride, went to the morgue and
found the body was that OF the miss
ing one. The lad was the only son OF
Mrs. Herring, widow, and lived with
his grandfather, former City Comp
troller Frank S. Vinton, at No. 113
North 9Th street.
Riding a new bicycle, the boy came
in Park Boulevard. Turning into
Haddon avenue he crashed into a
motorcycle ridden by Frank Il. Miller
and j. NJ. Stylo, Of Ashland, N. j.
Thrown from his wheel, the lad was
pitched headfirst beneath passing
Haddonfield trolley car. Before
Howard Fogg. motorman could stop
the car all four wheels on one side
had passed over the lads body, almost
cutting it in twain, breaking both legs
and arms and crushing the face into
an unrecogniZable mass. Doctors at
Cooper's Hospital told the ambulance
crew that death had been instantane-
Gus and Coroner Bushey said he had
never seen a body so terrible
mangled."
From Philadelphia Evening Tele-
graph of May 5:-"Camden Boy
Scouts turned out in goodly numbers
at the funeral yesterday afternoon OF
Vinton Herring, II years old, who was
killed by a trolley car after a collis-
ion with a motorcycle Thursday even
ing. The deeply impressive services
at st. Paul's Protestant Episcopal
Church affected the large gathering or
mourners because Of the fact that the
deceased was a soloist of the admir-
ably trained boy choir, every member
of which sang with much feeling,
his affection for Vinton
and sympathy with his mother, sister
grandfather and uncle. Rev. Rudolph
z. Brestell, rector, officiated, assisted
by Rev. @. o. Quin, OF St. Clements

floral tributes been seen at the funeral
OF a child in Camden or elsewhere,
