CHILD KILLED AT CLIFTON
Clarence Lindamood Caught in Cable of Merry Go-Round Tuesday Night.
The merry-go-round will be a pleasure no longer to the little boys and girls of Clifton, for last Tuesday evening it cost the life of one of their number. Little Clarence Lindamood was enjoying the hobby horses to the full of his five-and-a-half years when he was caught in the cable from the engine to the machine, carried swiftly up to the boiler — and that was the end of it. The terrified onlookers were powerless to save him, and all was over before the machinery could be stopped.
Little Clarence was a son of Charles Lindamood, foreman of the Bull Run Soapstone Company.
A great number of sorrowing friends attended the funeral Wednesday afternoon, and the sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved family.
