                       BOY HIT BY AUTO DIES OF INJURIES

         John Cropper Victim of Accident Near Home; Inquest Tuesday

John Cropper, 12 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Cropper, of Hugo 
Street, Norview, Norfolk County, died last night at 6:15 o'clock of injuries 
sustained Friday when he was knocked off his bicycle by an automobile.
The accident, which occurred near the boy's home, resulted in skull fractures 
and facial injuries. The driver of the automobile took the boy to the Protestant 
Hospital.
Detective Leon Nowitzky investigated for the city coroner's office last night 
and City Coroner C.D.J. MacDonald announced that an inquest will be held Tuesday 
afternoon, February 6.
Police records on the accident were not available last night and the name of the 
driver could not be learned. Norfolk County officers will be officially notified 
of the death today and such action as is taken will be taken by them, as the 
accident occurred within their jurisdiction. 
Besides his parents, George W. and Mrs. Alice Cropper, the lad is survived by 
four brothers, George W. Jr., Roland, Lloyd and Robert Cropper, of Colorado and 
one sister, Gladys A. Cropper, of Norfolk. John was a native of Bengal, Me. His
