The Verden News
July 9, 1908


While playing with other little companions on July fourth, Turner 
Sigmon, nine year old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Sigmon residing north of 
town, fell from the top of a barn onto a wire fence, striking the fence 
on his right breast, which injured his lung in some way and was the 
cause of pneumonia setting in, and on Monday, July 6, he passed from 
this life. He never regained consciousness after falling and it is 
thought that there were other internal injuries. Turner was an 
execeptionally bright little lad and was a favorite among his playmates 
as well as with older people. Funeral services were held at the home 
Tuesday, and the remains were tenderly laid away in the Verden cemetery. 
Our hearts swell with sympathy to the sorrowing father and heart broken 
mother.
