copy of the Free Press published
at Marionville, Mo, under date of
September 3. The paper gives an
account of the death of Floyd, the
ten year old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. P. Pennoyer, former citizens of
this place. The boy had gone with
his sister to take the horses to the
pasture on the Pennoyer farm, he
riding an aged and gentle family
horse, with rope looped around
the animals neck. While on the
way to the pasture Floyd allowed
the rope to become looped around
his, wrist and by some unfortunate
circumstance, the animal became
frightened and ran, throwing the
lad to the ground and dragging
him to death. The horse ran about
a mile with him before it could be
stopped. The body was scarcely
intact when picked up. The head
and face were badly crushed and
lacerated, the neck broken, also
the bones of the legs and body were
badly shattered. The body was
buried at Marionville, the funeral
being held on Thursday of last

A YOUNG MAN KILLED.
The Dead Body Of Leroy Kerr
Found Friday Morning

a train crew from the west
reaching Laclede about 5 O'Clock
last Friday morning reported at
the station that q dead man was
lying beside the track mile and a
nalf west of town, The section
gang together with John Sweem of
the depot force went out on the
hand car and found the body in
ditch on the south side Of the
track. 1t was readily identified as
that Of John Leroy Kerr, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. M. Kerr living
six miles southwest of Laclede.
The body was brought to the sta
ton and later removed to Nichols
undertaking establishment. The
relatives were notified and his
father with some Of the neighbors
arrived shortly in an automobile.
Coroner Homes arrived from
linneus about noon and held an
inquest before the folloWisg jury
summoned by Constable Ben
Thompson: A. E. Johnson, FL. L.
Allen, Henry Bremen, A. J. Cay
wood, w. S. Savage and Geo. Q.
Plowman.
Several witnesses were examined.
the evidences showing that Roy was
in Laclede Thursday, leaving here
for the home of VIM. Daniels, four
miles west of town about noon.
He reached the Daniels home about
one O'Clock and remained there un-
til 10 that night, leaving for La
clede walking on the railroad
track intending to take the early
morning train for st. Joseph. On
viewing the body the coroner and
jury found the left leg crushed
nearly off below the knee, the left
foot cut in two and a slight scalp
wound. No other marks or bruises
were visible. ~
The verdict was to the effect that
he died from injuries received from
a Burlington train, bat the jury
was unable to fix the responsibility
for the accident.
Just how the accident happened
will never be known, but the sup
position is that he attempted to
board train to ride to town, when
he missed his hold and received the
injuries that resulted in his death.
The remains were taken to the
home Of his parents Saturday
morning, in charge Of Undertaken
Nichols. The funeral was held at
the church in Forker Sunday after
noon, the services being conducted
by Rev. Beiber, of RothviIle. The
church was filed to overfowing
with sympathizing neighbors and
. Il
friends. Burial was made in La
clede cemetery.
The deceased was % years of age,
a member of one of the best fam
lies of the county, and was a
splendid young man in every way,
and his untimely death is deeply
regretted and mourned by all our
people. He was a member of the
Modern Brotherhood and Yeoman
lodges, in both of which he carried
life insurance, which with some
Old Line insurance he left his rela-
tives $500.
