DIES OF HURTS
IN
SNOWSLIDE
Arthur E. Wood
Succumbs to
Injuries; Funeral of
Purnell Today. |
|
The death of Arthur E. Wood at a
local hospital late Wednesday night, added another to the list
of fatalities in the snowslide at the North Star mine near
Hailey. Mr. Wood was one of the men rescued, who was
seriously injured. He was brought to Boise as soon as
possible and underwent an operation for internal injuries but
from the first little hope was entertained for his recovery.
Mr. Wood is survived by six brothers, three sisters, his
parents, a widow and three children. The body is at Fry
& Summers' chapel and will be taken to Parma for burial
Saturday.
The missing trunk, belonging
to John Howard Purnell, one of the slide victims, reached
Boise from Hailey Thursday, but it contained no data
concerning any of Purnell's relatives. Mr. Purnell is
believed to have had a bank account, since he was a thrifty
man, but nothing has been learned of this as yewt.
The funeral will be held from Fry & Summers' chapel today at 2
o'clock. The Rev. H. J. Reynolds of the Christian church
will officiate at the chapel and the services at the grave
will be in charge of Boise lodge No. 2, A. F. & A. M.
Interment will be in Morris Hill Cemetery. |
