TOBOGGAN MISHAP FATAL TO BOY

   Dale Thomas Mapes, 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. David Mapes, of Tobacco 
Township, died Saturday morning, March 11, from injuries suffered in a 
tobogganing accident the week previous. Dale was born Dec. 28, 1953, in Mt. 
Pleasant and had lived all his life in Gladwin County. He was a seventh grade 
student in the Beaverton Elementary School and a member of the Billings Sunday 
School. Surviving are his parents; two brothers, James and Timothy; a sister, 
Ann Marie; and grandparents, Mrs. Emma Mapes of Beaverton, and Mrs. Mary Stear 
of Sarasota, Fla. 
   Services were held Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. at the Miner Chapel with the Rev. 
F. E. Voller and Rev. William Vroman officiating. Interment was in Dale 
Cemetery. The youngster received the fatal head injuries on Saturday, March 4, 
at Grayling when a log jumped in front of the toboggan on which he and several 
other boys from Beaverton were riding. Dale was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, 
Saginaw; where he underwent surgery that same day and again Tuesday morning.
   His companions on the toboggan apparently were not seriously hurt.
