Paul Leroy Carper, eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Carper of Taylor Township, died at Nason Hospital, two minutes after submission, after being struck and run over by a car on Woodbury Pike. In company with an uncle and cousin, D.M. Kensinger and son, Carl, and his father, the group had stopped at the Kensinger farm to view a house under construction. The boys darted to cross the highway from behind the car into the path of a south-bound machine that he failed to see coming.

Oliver Kagarise, nine-year postmaster at New Enterprise, died suddenly at his home, after a few months’ illness.

A large four-seated lawn rocker was presented by H.C. Burket and placed on the upper front porch of the Morrisons Cove Home.

Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Rock of Salemville moved their household goods to Martinsburg where they planned to reside since Mr. Rock was employed there.
