death of j. Thomas Harrison

The community was shocked on Sun
day to learn of the sudden death of Mr..
Tom Harrison, a former student of
Massanutten Academy, which happen
ed near Gastonia, N. c., last week.
Mr.. Harrison. in company with his
brother, Frank, was attending a game
Of baseball at Gastonia Following the
game, the brothers, each in his own
car, started for Charlotte, the home of
Mr.. j. Frank Harrison. Tom evidently
did not know the route and lost the
way, whereas Frank reached Charlotte,
waited a short while for Toms coming,
and then started back on the road to
Gastonia, finding the upturned car
alongithe road, and nobody about. The
car Twin Six Packard Touring, was a
total wreck. A par ty happened along,
and, finding Mr. Tom Harrison pinned
under his car, rescu ed him and hurried
him off to the hospit al in Gastonia. At
first it was thought that he was not
seriously injured, altho there were
fractures Of both legs. In the hospital
he twitted and laughed with the visi-
tors and attendants, just two hours
before he suddenly died, from serious
injury in the abdomen, likely, not then
traceable. 1t is presumed that he took
short turn in the road at that spot,
and, in trying to save striking house
close to the road, was upturned.
Tom Harrison was jolly fellow, and
had many friends in Woodstock. He
was a generous boy-and possessed
many admirable traits, that won for
him a large following in the school
when a student at the Academy.
His tragic death is source of grief
! to all who knew him-all the more so,
because he was rapidly forging to the
front as a man of keen business sa.
gacity, and was making a splendid sue
cess. AS a student in M. A. he endear-
ed himself to teachers, students and
friends, and was recognized as one OF
the few men who gained recognition
for the school in literary and athletic
activities.

tatives of the school to the funeral in
