Death of Meryl Singleton
Meryl D. Singleton died at his
home in Falls City June 14. His
death was caused by an accident
in the Falls Ci y Lumber Co's.
mills. He was driving a horse
hitched to a truck load of lumber
when the truck struck a block of
wood and caught him between
the end of the truck and a pile
of lumber. His stomach and
bowels were mashed. He was
carried home in a half conscious
condition on the morning of May
20. Medical aid was . summoned
from all parts of th a state, but
nothing could ba done to help
him.
His suffering was so intense
right from the beginning that he
was scarcely an hour without the
Doctor's aid and easing influence.
Nurses and Doctors did all that
human aid could do for 26 days
and nichts. but nothing could
save his life.
Peritonitis set in the second
Aav after the accident and his
suffering was so severe the Doc
tnra thoucrht he could not live
more than five days at the most,
but he lingered on and on, unti
he reached 26 days fighting his
haHo fnr life with a vim and
vigor scarcely seen in human life.
He was brave and manly to the
last breath.
When he realized that he must
go, he told his parents to be
brave and bear his death as he
had born it. He was prepared
for eternity and asked God to
meet him at the parting hour.
Mervl was an exceptionally
bricht boy of sweet and loving
disposition. He had many dear
frnda who will mourn the de
nature of his young life.
He graduated from the . Falls
City High School just one year
airo. at the age of 12 years, the
imn-cpst in his class. He then

ton for one-half year.
He had been working for the
Falls City' Lumber Co.j sinpe
January and was 'saving his
money to attend school . at Cor
vallis (0. A. C.) next year.
He was a bright, smart boy,
far ahead of the average boy in
every way and his influence in
the community will be deeply
felt He, was a promising young
lad and would have made his
mark in the world had the Good
Lord seen fit to spare him.
