12 Year Old Boy Killed While Hunting - Gun of one of his little companions was 
accidentally discharged and made a fatal wound.  Lived but a short time.
A terrible tragedy happened near Bronwood late Saturday afternoon, when the 
little 12 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Kennedy of near Bronwood was 
accidentally killed by John Murray, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Murray 
of Bronwood.  These two little boys, with a number of companions, were out 
hunting, and the little Murray boy was walking along with his gun cocked when 
he suddenly stumbled and the gun was discharged.  The load took effect in 
little Oliver Kennedy's side, and produced a wound from which he died five or 
six hours later.  The accident occurred near the home of Mr. David Martin, and 
the little boy was taken into his house and physicians summoned.  The burial 
took place in Bronwood Sunday afternoon, Rev. S. J. Hargrove impressively 
conducting the last rites.  The accidental tragedy is one of the saddest that 
has ever occurred, and universal sympathy goes out to both families.
