Christy Garrison,
Five Years Old,
Killed on Road, New Haven

Christy Garrison, the five year old son of Ted Garrison, living two miles north of New Haven, was killed Wednesday noon as he was returning to school, after having been home to dinner, when he was stuck by an automobile driven by Arnie Johnson, of Riceville.

The Garrisons live but a little way north of the schoolhouse. The lad, accompanied by his brother, two years his senior, was walking south, and the car was approaching from the south.

A coroner's inquest is to be held this afternoon. Funeral services are set for tomorrow.
