Gohn, Charles Albert

  Charles Albert Gohn, eight year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gohn of Shade 
Township, was killed at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon by touching a "live" wire of 
the power line at a point where it enters the Shade Coal Company's mines. The 
victim was warned by a playmate against touching the wire, but he persisted in 
doing so, it is said.
