- Accidental Wound Proved Fatal
On Wednesday of last week, three sons of Mr. and Mrs. G.T. Bagley of Enterprise township went fishing an hunting, taking with them a target rifle. The boys were Lee, aged 15, Urbie, aged 10, and Milo, aged 6.
When in the timber, Lee put down the rifle and Milo picked it up and accidently discharged it, the ball hitting Urbie in the hip. The wound was not considered dangerous though the physicians were unable to locate the ball.
From the effects of the wound the boy died Sunday evening at 6 o’clock, aged 10 years, 6 months and 27 days. The funeral was from the Bagley residence to Grantville cemetery where the services were conducted by Rev. Fitzgerald.
The grief stricken family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in their bereavement.
