FENWICK



John FENWICK died at the home of his parents on Wednesday
afternoon at about 6 o'clock from injuries received while at his work in the
mine of the McDonald Coal Company located at Sturgeon.

Mr. FENWICK was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert FENWICK, and ran
the motor in the mine. He had just taken some slate from the track when a
large piece fell catching him. It was necessary to use a jack in order to
remove it. The accident occurred about 3 o'clock. This is the second son
to meet death in the mine. It will be remembered that about six months ago
William aged 19 years was killed by coming in contact with a live electric
wire.

Mr. FENWICK was 21 years of age and is survived by his father
and mother, three sisters and three brothers. Funeral services will be held
at his late home in Sturgeon this Saturday at 2:30 o'clock in charge of Rev.
CORNELL, pastor of the Methodist church of this place. Interment will be in
the Robinson's Run cemetery.
