TERRIBLE ACCIDENT!
A Little Boy Falls Over Stair Bannister
at the American House and is Fatally Injured--His Death this Morning. This community will be painfully shocked at the announcement that little George A. Blount, only child of Colonel Blount, proprietor of the American House, has died from fatal injuries received by falling over the stairway bannister from the second to the first floor, striking his forehead on a heavy iron stove hearth at the bottom of the staircase hall. The accident occurred on Friday, the 7th inst., and death ensued this (Friday) morning, eight days of intense anxiety to the parents and friends having elapsed between the fall and its fatal effect. A similar accident happened to the child about one year ago. Since that time the watchful eyes of his parents and the hotel employees have been constantly upon him to prevent a repetition of the accident; but, notwithstanding all the care that could be taken, it came when least expected, and at a moment when the household was enjoying the best pleasures of life, health, happiness and prosperity. Mr. Blount had ordered a carriage for his wife, who was going out to ride, and she, with her son, started for their private apartments from the office floor. The little boy, it seems, had forgotten something in the office, and suddenly remembering that fact at the room door, dashed down the stairs as his mother entered the apartment, taking a ride on the smooth bannister rail as the quickest means of reaching his destination. Mr. Cashatt, clerk in the office, heard the sound of the fall, as did a porter in another room, and both hastened to the spot the porter reaching the helpless and bleeding form first. Mr. Blount was there in a moment, and carried his boy up stairs, where he remained until death came and relieved him from suffering. Doctors Loving, Smith, and Frankenberg were called, and the latter remained in constant attendance while life remained, administering such relief as was suggested by the associated physicians. The child was unconscious part of the time, partly from the effect of chloroform and partly from the injury, and when the fever in his body touched the brain convulsions followed. After four o'clock P. M. Thursday he became entirely oblivious to all that occurred in the room, and remained in that condition until he died. He must have fallen head foremost, as the greatest injury was upon the head. A cut across the forehead and a large black bruise over the left eye were the only contusions on the body. The bruise closed the left eye, and it remained closed, except upon one or two occasions, when it was opened only for a few minutes. The face of the child was familiar to many who have been guests in the house, and among the attaches he was a general favorite. Everybody called him Georgie, and all who knew him, with the very extensive circle of acquaintances enjoyed by his father and mother, will deeply sympathize with the parents in this sad bereavement. His age was five years and five months. A funeral service will be held in the hotel parlors at 8:30 A. M., Saturday, by Rev. Rufus W. Clark, Rector of Trinity Church, after which the body will be laid away in the cemetery at Hillsboro, Ohio,* the home of Mrs. Blount's father and mother. The latter, Mrs. Sarah E. Tucker, arrived in Columbus last evening, and will return with the funeral cortege. *George A. Blount, the subject of this newspaper story, was actually buried at Green Lawn Cemetery, Columbus in Section X. (Tombstone Photo)

A Boy Killed by Cars—It is Said He Attempted to Board a Train
This afternoon about half past twelve; John Luckhaupt, son of Adam Luckhaupt, who lives at No. 260 South New street, was run over by a freight train going south on the Hocking Valley road, near Biehl's brewery. The lad made an attempt to jump on the train and slipped, falling underneath the cars. His body was nearly severed in twain. He lived fully half an hour after being injured. His remains were taken to the residence of his father, and Coroner Egan was summoned. Young Luckhaupt's father has been working at the gravel bank in the southern part of the city. This morning the son asked permission of his father to come down and see him. It is supposed that he attempted to jump the train and ride down. His brother was with him at the time of the accident. The Coroner rendered a verdict of "accidental death by attempting to board a moving train."

Rev. George H. Geyer, pastor of King Avenue M. E. Church of this city, died last evening at 5:30 o'clock at his residence, 1378 Neil avenue. Rev. Mr. Geyer's death was caused by consumption and he passed away peacefully and quietly without a struggle. He leaves a widow and three small children, two boys and a little girl, aged five, three and two years, besides three brothers, Rev. W. C. Geyer, now supplying the pulpit at Alexandria, Messrs. John and Norman Geyer, at home in Pomeroy, O.;
Rev. George H. Geyer was born in Pomeroy, May 26, 1868, was educated in the public schools of that city, graduating from the high school in 1884, taught three years in the Pomeroy high school; graduated from Ohio Wesleyan university in 1892, with high honors as student and orator, having won the state and interstate collegiate oratorical contests. He was a member of the Delta Tau Delta college fraternity. In August, 1892, he was married to Miss Carrie Brown Dodds, of Xenia, O, President J. W. Bashford officiating. He entered the Boston school of theology in the fall of 1892 and graduated in June, 1895, with the highest honors as he was elected by both the faculty and his class to be the honor man. During the three years in Boston, he was pastor of a mission chapel supported by the Old South Congregational church. In September, 1895, he entered the Ohio conference and was appointed to the pastorate of the new Spencer church at Ironton, O., which he served faithfully and well until October, 1898, when he was called to King avenue. He was absent from the charge six months last year, visiting Asheville, N. C. and returned much better, resuming his work, uninterrupted by illness until he took the grip March first. He preached the last sermon on the evening of March 11, and tried to preach again April 1, but could not finish the sermon. Rev. Mr. Geyer was one of the purest and highest types of Christian ministers, magnificently equipped for his work. His great power was spirituality, made more powerful by superior intellectuality. He was peculiarly loved by the people of the two charges he served in this conference. King avenue has never had a pastor to which the people have been so warmly attached and there is a feeling throughout the church that he has given to them a deeper spiritual insight than they ever had before. His loss is greatly to be deplored. The funeral services will be held Wednesday at noon from the King Avenue church and will be conducted by Dr. J. C. Arbuckle, presiding elder of the Columbus district, who ordained Rev. Mr. Geyer as a local preacher 14 years ago in Pomeroy; Rev. Joseph Clark, secretary of the Ohio Sunday school association, who was the pastor of the Geyer family at Pomeroy, 1894-5, and President J. W. Bashford of O. W. U. Interment will be made at Xenia, O. The casket will not be opened at the church, but the body will lie in state at the residence from 9 to 11:30 a. m. The pall-bearers have been chosen as follows: W. V. Zartman, L. L. Rankin, R. E. Ackland, Charles Boardman, W. F. Janeway and M. E. Taylor, all leading members of the King Avenue church. At noon today the trustees of the church held a meeting and selected the following committees to act in the funeral and memorial arrangements: Committee on resolutions--L. D. Lilley, C. H. Tingley and C. M. Rogers Committee for memorial Sunday--Rev. Joseph Clark, C. H. Tingley and Frank Rathmell. Committee on flowers--W. F. Janeway, R. E. Ackland, and E. E. Fisher. Committee on church decoration--C. M. Rogers, F. E. Miller and Frank Rathmell. The Columbus Dispatch, Tuesday, June 27, 1900

Suicide Who Died With a Message of Love
on Her Lips, Had Not a Friend. With evidently no one in the world to mourn her death, all that was mortal of Mrs. Louise Schmend [Schwend?], was tenderly laid to rest at Green Lawn cemetery, Monday afternoon. Not a friend, not a relative, none in face, except the undertaker and minister seemed to care what became of the remains of the woman whose dying words were those of love to a man whose whereabouts are unknown. She was found dead in a South High stree room. Her mouth was burned from the drug that caused her death but, although friendless, she was given a decent burial. The funeral services were held at the R. E. Jones chapel, corner Third and Broad streets, late Wednesday afternoon. On the coffin a wreath of roses had been placed by Mr. Jones, and the corpse with the burns hidden from view, was dressed a burial robe. With a congregation of several women who had been invited to attend, the services were conducted, under the auspices of the funeral director, by Rev. Mr. Huston assistant to the rector of Trinity church. Page 5 COL E. J. POCOCK, VETERAN OF CIVIL WAR, PASSES AWAY
Was Many Times Wounded In the Great Struggle.
His Military Career Did Not End With Lee's
Surrender—Something of His Life. After years of suffering, Col. E[dgar] J. Pocock succumbed at three o'clock Wednesday morning, to the effects of wounds suffered in defense of his country during the civil war. He was wounded many times during the great struggle, from the effects of which he never recovered, and which eventually was the indirect cause of apoplexy. He suffered several strokes during the past winter, the last being on Sunday, March 13, while the colonel was walking in front of his home at Worthington. He was removed to Mt. Carmel hospital, but it being seen that there was no hope for his recovery, he was a few days later taken back to his home where a trained nurse had constant care of him, to make his last days as comfortable as possible. AGAIN FOUGHT HIS BATTLES. During the latter days of his illness his mind frequently wandered and he fought over again thetrying days of 1861-1865, when bloody battlefields were his home. He suffered little, however, and the end was peaceful.  BORN ON A FARM. Colonel Pocock was born June 21, 1838, near Kenne, Coshocton county, O. of revolutionary stock. The war caused him to change his plans for a life in the law. He enlisted September 10, 1861, as a soldier in Company H, 51st Ohio Volunteer infantry, whose colonel, the late Stanley Matthews, visited him several times at this Coshocton home later in life. He was appointed sergeant December 18, 1862; commissioned second lieutenant June 10, 1863, and first lieutenant January 6, 1865. The 51st regiment saw the hardest kind of service, and Colonel Pocock was with the regiment continuously, except when in hospital recovering from wounds, and for a portion of the Atlanta campaign when he served on the staff of General Whitaker. In the battle of Resaca he received a severe gunshot wound in the right arm, the after effects of which nearly cost him his life. At Nashville he was hit in the left leg, a wound which never healed. At Stone River he was slightly wounded three times, and at Franklin when on staff his horse was killed under him. He commanded a company in the operations about Chattanooga, and in the battles of Chickamauga, where he had the right of a skirmish line, Mission Ridge and Lookout mountain. He participated in all of the seventeen battles and nearly all of the skirmishes in which his regiment was engaged. ORGANIZED GUARD. Colonel Pocock was an enthusiastic military man after the war. His regiment was on duty eleven days at the Cincinnati riot of 1884, being honored with orders to remain seven days after all other troops had been withdrawn. He was officially thanked for his service at this time by the governor of Ohio, the sheriff of Hamilton county, the mayor of Cincinnati, and the citizens' committee of one hundred. STAUNCH REPUBLICAN. In politics Colonel Pocock was a staunch Republican. In the stirring campaigns of a quarter of a century ago he frequently entertained at his home in Coshocton such men as John Sherman, Charles Foster, Stanley Matthews and others. He had been a resident of Columbus nearly twenty years, representing the Northwestern and later the New York Life Insurance companies. He was a member of the Loyal Legion, the G. A. R., having been past commander of the McCoy post Columbus, and of the Lanning post, Coshocton, the Columbus board of trade and the Coshocton Society of Columbus. LEAVES A FAMILY. Colonel Pocock is survived by his widow and three daughters, Mrs. Harry P. Ward of Worthington, Mrs. Harry R. Jones of Canton and Mrs. Harry Wagstaff of Niles. Mrs. Pocock was the daughter of the late Judge Hunt of Millersburg, Ohio. Arrangements for the funeral have been outlined, although not yet finally determined. It is expected that the remains will be placed upon a special C. D. & M. car at Worthington and conveyed to the mortuary chapel at Green Lawn, where services of a military character will be held. The Loyal Legion will have an active part in the services. BRUCE M'PHERSON DEAD. Young Railroad Man Dies of Malignant Typhoid Fever. Bruce McPherson, son of the late Joseph McPherson, living on Hunter avenue, died Tuesday night after an illness of but one week with malignant typhoid fever, aged 26 years. Mr. McPherson was born in Pittsburg, where he attended school. For some time he has been a clerk in the Columbus and Hocking Valley freight department, where he made many friends. The deceased was a nephew of James Bruce, the prominent reailroad man. He leaves a mother and two sisters. The funeral arrangements will be made later. Page 10
MRS. LULU WHITE KILLED BY A CAR Endeavored to Cross Directly in Front of It. Was Lifeless When Picked Up;
Death Resulting From A Broken Neck. Mrs. Lulu White, colored, aged about 30 years, met instant death shortly before 5 o'clock Tuesday evening, under the wheels of a C. D. & M. Interurban car, at stop 18, about six miles north of the city. HAD SECURED WORK. Mrs. White had called upon Mrs. R. G. Hutchins, who resides near the stop mentioned, for the purpose of securing employment, and had made satisfactory arrangements with that woman. Mrs. Hutchins had requested the woman to remain at the house and begin her employment immediately, but Mrs. White insisted upon going back to her room, at 126 East Noble street, to get her trunk and clothing, and left the Hutchins home, going direct to the stopping place for the car. TRIED TO CROSS TRACKS. Just as the car neared the crossing, Mrs. White, after signalling it to stop, attempted to cross the tracks, evidently thinking she was on the wrong side. The car struck her before she had cleared the track, and she was thrown a distance of about 10 feet. The woman was lifeless when picked up, and her body was placed on the incoming car and taken to Gay and Third streets, from which point the patrol wagon removed it to the morgue. The car was in charge of Motorman Ziegler and Conductor Snyder. NECK WAS BROKEN. Coroner Murphy, who made an examination, discovered that the woman's neck had been broken. The body of the woman was turned over to Under taker Adams on Tuesday night at the request of a son, who will arrange for its interment.
