Killed While Coasting
Clarence Stuart Neff Hit By Sled on Saturday
 
  Saturday morning at 11 o'clock, Clarence Stuart Neff, the seven year 
old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Neff of Warrior's Mark, met with a 
coasting accident that resulted in his death twenty-four hours 
afterwards.  The lad with a number of other companions was coasting on 
a hill near the old Neff homestead, when a cutter came down the hill at 
a rapid rate and hit the boy in the stomach.  He was fatally injured 
internally and died on Sunday morning at 10:36 o'clock. Surviving to 
mourn the lad's death are his parents, one brother, Wilfred, and a 
sister, Lillian.
  Clarence was an extremely bright little fellow and was the leader of 
a large circle of little friends. He was a member of the Presbyterian 
and Methodist Sunday schools and recently received two gold pins for 
continuous attendance during the year 1915.  He will be wonderfully 
missed in the in the home, as he was a boy loved by all who knew him.
  Funeral services will be held on Wednesday morning at the home at 
10:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Mr. Keboch, of the Methodist church, 
of Warrior's Mark. Interment in Warrior's Mark cemetery.
