Death of Quincy Chapman. - Quincy Chapman, the twelve-year-old son of Mr. 
and Mrs. Thos. Chapman, who was fearfully injured by being crushed between 
two cars of a cane train on the Lemann Company's Crescent plantation during 
the afternoon of Saturday, Oct. 19, died at his parents' home in Lafourche 
street at 2 o'clock p. m. last Saturday, nearly two weeks to the hour after 
having sustained the deplorable accident. It was thought for a time that the 
unfortunate youth would recover from his terrible injuries, although with 
the prospect of being a cripple for life, but a divine Providence willed 
other-wise, and despite all that medical science and the most careful and 
devoted nursing could accomplish, the brave little patient grew steadily 
weaker and finally closed his eyes in the long sleep that knows no waking. 
His remains were laid to rest in the Protestant cemetery at 4 o'clock p. m. 
Sunday, after impressive services at the Methodist church, Rev. E. P. 
Craddock officiating. The profound sympathy of the entire community is 
extended to the heartbroken parents in their deep bereavement.
