Stevens, of Putnam. Last Friday morning during the recess hour Alton was accidentally hit in the abdomen by Dewey Willis who was throwing the 12 pound shot. The iron ball struck Alton the arm and glanced and hit him just below his ribs. Drs. O’Neal and Rainey were called in and they called Dr. Cook, of Columbus. An operation was performed but without avail and Alton died early Sunday morning. The funeral services were held by Rev. O.L. Evans at the Stephens home at Putnam and the interment was at the Methodist cemetery here. The entire student body and faculty of H.S.I. attended the interment. The Patriot extends our deepest sympathy to the bereaved family. – Marion County Patriot This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 1.4 Kb
