The youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. John Gerard, Jr. of Oskaloosa, met with a fatal accident. He had climbed a tree to get a crow’s nest, when he fell from a height of thirty or forty feet and sustained broken limbs and internal injuries which resulted in his death an hour and a half later. The child was visiting at his uncle's when the accident occurred and neither parent was there, but were summoned at once, he never regained consciousness.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows this was Glen who was born Feb. 18, 1906 and died Aug. 30, 1915. He is buried in Union Mills Cemetery.
