INJURIES PROVE FATAL
Sixteen Year Old Boy Succumbs After Much Suffering

Ernest Schilling, aged sixteen years, died on Wednesday night at his home near Craig. Young Schilling was kicked in the head some weeks ago by a horse and never recovered from the effects of the injuries.

He was for some time in a local hospital here and about ten days ago was taken back to his home. It was seen for some time that he could not recover. He suffered greatly from the pain and was delirious a good deal of the time.

Ernest was a son of Mrs. Schilling, a widow residing a mile east and a mile and a half south of Craig. Besides the bereaved mother he leaves a brother and several sisters to mourn his untimely death.

The funeral will be held on Saturday afternoon at the Grant township Lutheran church.
