  Notes	Five year old Benjamin Benton, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Benton, of Summitville, was fatally injured while coasting near his home, on Saturday morning and died from his injuries the following day, at Thrall Hospital, Middletown, where he had been taken in an unconscious condition. George O'Brien, six years old, who was riding with the Benton boy, received injuries but will recover. The lads were riding down a steep grade, "double-deck," the Benton boy being on top, when the sleigh struck a stone which caused it to upset, throwing the coasters against a frozen embankment. Young Benton was taken to his home in an unconscious condition and when he did not regain consciousness, later in the day, a physician was called who ordered the injured boy taken to the hospital. At the hospital it was found that the boy was suffering from a cerebral hemorrhage and death followed Sunday afternoon. The body was taken to the home of the parents Sunday night. --Monticello (NY) Republican Watchman, Friday, January 13, 19
