Platter

  Boy Accidentally Shot by Brother - A son of Charles Platter who lives about 
four miles west of Grantsville was accidentally shot by his brother on Friday. 
The two boys aged about 9 and 11 were in the house alone and were playing with 
the gun. The elder of the two had the gun when it was discharged passing through 
the brain and killing the younger lad instantly. (Meyersdale Commercial Feb. 10, 
1916)
