Weir of Phoenix was fatally injured when struck by a car. Evidently he had been in Berkley's confectionery store in Phoenix and had just started to cross the street to a waiting car when the accident occurred. Warren Mapes of Route 2, Ash­ land. driver of the car that struck young Weir, reported that Weir stepped in front of his car so suddenly that he had no time to apply the brakes or to turn out to avoid the accident. Weir was carried on the h«xxl of the car about 50 feet before he rolled off. The doctor reported that he suf­ fered a fractured skull, a crushed chest, a broken ieg and severe bruises. He died without regain­ ing consciousness about a half hour after the accident. Since his parents feel that the accident was seemingly unavoid­ able, no inquest was held. Funeral services were held in survived by his parents and six Conger chapel Tuesday, Rev. Miles — ’ ‘ “ Brownrigg officiating.
