CHILD KILLED ACCIDENTALLY IN ROPE SWING
NECK OF BYRAN H. BLANTON BROKEN IN FALL
Seven-year-old Bryan H. Blanton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Orville Blanton, 614, West Market Street, Washington C. H., O. suffered a broken neck and was killed when the rope of a swing attached to a tree on the lawn at the Blanton home became entangled about the child's neck as he fell from a limb of the tree, Wed., Sept. 19. The child had been missing about 15 or 20 minutes when searched for him was started and he was found, reports stated, with his feet on the ground and the rope about his neck, partly supporting his body. The rope had a loop on the end, was attached to a limb six or seven feet above the ground, it seems the boy had been swinging by placing one foot in the looped end of the rope, which came within a short distance of the ground. Just what happened could not be ascertained, but apparently the child had been on the limb, with rope and had fallen the rope closing about his neck so that his neck was broken in the fall, and death must have been instantaneous. Dr. N. M. Reiff, county corner,reported accidental death. Call for the resuscitator at the fire department was made and Assistant Fire Chief Emil Wilson hurried to the scene with the outfit, but the child was dead. In addition to his parents, the little boy is survived by his grandmother, Mrs. Susanna Stone. Funeral services were held Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Gregg Street Christiann Unio Church, in Washington C. H., O. The family had moved from Oil Springs in 1941. Paintsville Herald Thursday 9-27-1945
