Information: Robert Harmon, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Harmon, of Frozen Camp, met with a tragic end Wednesday evening.  The little boy, as was his custom, went to the field where his father was plowing, to ride one of the horses to the barn.  The horse was trotting along behind one being ridden by one of the farm hands, they were hurrying to the barn to escape an approching storm, when nearing a steep bank, it, in slowing up, slipped and throwing the boy over it's head, his head striking a stone, crushing the skull.  He was carried to the house, but never regained consciousness, and only lived twenty-five minutes, dying at 5:25.  The funeral was held Thursday at 2 p.m.  The services were conducted by Rev. I. G. Williams of Fairview Christian Church.  (McIntyre)
