Wilson Victor Hood.


Our community was shocked and
| saddened on Saturday, May !, when
| the message went over the phone that
Wilson Hood, the second son of Cleve-
| land Hood, was fatally injured by fall
ing from a dray which passed over his
| body, resulting in broken limbs and a
hemorrhage, which caused death in a
short time Wilson was nine years,
one month and eight days of age, and
had always been a frail child, causing
his parents many hours of anxiety and
care. The father has the sympathy of
the entire community, as this Is the
second time in less than three months
that his home has been invaded by the
grim messenger OF death. The death
Of the boy came just eleven weeks
50 day since the wife and mother
was taken from them, and this surely
seems a double portion The floral
offerings were beautiful and nearly
enveloped the easket, bearing silent
testimony to the love and esteem in
| which Wilson was held by everyone,
and while all were fully appreciated
we would make special mention OF the
dozen tulips by his classmates and four
dozen carnations from the school. The
funeral was from the house on Tues
day. Rev. Stead Thornton officiating.
Frank Hood, Wendell McIane, Donald
and Duncan Miller acted as bearers.
