BIRMINGHAM PENCILINGS.

Edgar, a little son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cogan, of Amsbry, was 
buried in the Presbyterian cemetery here on Saturday afternoon.  While 
coasting on Thursday afternoon near his home, in that place, he met 
with an accident from which he died that evening.  He was lying down on 
his sled when another little lad of about the same age ran into him, 
striking him in the neck, from which injuries he bled to death.  The 
grade or incline was slight, but the sled upon which his little friend 
was riding came with such force as to sever his windpipe.  The deceased 
was a grandson of Mr. George Gensamore and was in the 8th year of his 
age.
