Killed by Automobile
Gerald Ellis of Black Walnut Met Death Last Night.
Gerald Ellis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ellis of Black Walnut, was struck by an automobile driven by "Bucky" Miner of Tunkhannock, a little after 10 o'clock last night and was killed as a result of the collision.
The Ellis boy, who is a student in school, had been to Meshoppen with another boy to attend a Boy Scout meeting and they were returning home riding bicycles when he collided with the automobile.
Mr. Miner stopped and picked up the injured boy and brought him to the office of Dr. Taylor at Meshoppen, but the unfortunate young man was beyond help, evidently having been instantly killed.
(Meshoppen Enterprise; Meshoppen, PA. Wednesday, April 8, 1931, page unknown.)
The funeral of Gerald Ellis of Black Walnut, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ellis, which was held at the Meshoppen M.E. church at 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon, was very largely attended. Gerald, who was killed by being hit by an automobile, at the foot of the hill at Black Walnut, was 15 years of age. He was a student in the Meshoppen High school, and was held in very high esteem. Burial took place in Overfield cemetery.
