GRAMMER, Lester -A sad accident happened in Bentonville Christmas day which caused the death of a little boy and drove the Christmas cheer from a happy household. Sunday afternoon Lester, the five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Grammer, together with several companions, was playing about the McHenry & Bryan evaporator. Some of the older boys were on the inside of the building and by means of the rope were raising and lowering the heavy weight attached to the elevator. The weight hung on the outside of the building with the rope extending down on the inside and the boys pulling the rope could not see what was going on outside. Little Lester, seeing the heavy weight ascending and descending, concluded it would be fun to go up with it and when up a considerable distance the boys released their hold on the rope and the little fellow fell to the ground with the weight on top of him. The accident happened at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon and death resulted at 1:40 o'clock Monday morning. Funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon and the remains were interred in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. The family has the sympathy of the entire community in their great bereavement.
