Norfolk Virginian June 13, 1888
A serious accident occurred on Lovitt avenue, Brambleton, yesterday morning, 
which caused the death of James Laylor, whose father is employed at the navy-
yard. The boy was sitting in a wagon of the Southern Renovator Company holding 
the horse, when the animal became frightened and ran at break-neck speed down 
Lovitt avenue. At Park avenue, the horse turned the corner, upsetting the wagon 
and throwing out the boy, whose head struck against a post. His skull was 
fractured and death was almost instantaneous. The horse continued on his mad run 
until brought to a standstill by falling and breaking his leg. He was afterwards 
shot to put him out of his suffering. Dr. Newton, City Coroner, examined the 
body and gave a certificate of death from natural causes.

The funeral of JAMES H. LAYLOR, only son of Robert and Margaret Laylor, aged 14 
years, will take place from the residence of parents, 66 Queen street, THIS 
(Wednesday) AFTERNOON at 4 o'clock.
Friends and acquaintances invited to attend.
The deceased was insured in the industrial plan of the Virginia Life Insurance 
Company.
