THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 23, 1949 Child Dies By Electrocution Lumberton — Funeral services were held Monday afteinoon at 3 o’clock at the Thompson Chapel Baptist Church for Trellis Thomp son, 8 year oid colored child, who was accidentally electrocuted Sat urday afternoon about 7 p.m. when he touched a live wire on the grounds of the Thompson Insti tute, colored school located on the Fairmont road. Interment followed in the Thompson Chapel cemetery. He, is survived by his parents and by two brothers and four sisters. John D. Thompson, father of the dead boy, said that he left his chil dren playing on the school ground, as they often did, while he had gone to a nearby store. The charg ed wire was a guy wire fo an elec tric power pole which was wrap ped around the power pole for sup port and staked to the ground be side the water fountain. The guy wire contacted a live, insulated wire, and apparently had rubbed the insulation from the power wire and become charged with a heavy volume of electricity, Thompson said. Emma Lou, the oldest daughter, came in contact with the wire first and was unable to turn the wire loose. Another sister rushed to her aid but was knocked down by the current. Then Trellis rushed to his sister’s aid and while trying to loose them from the wire, was knocked down end the wire fell across his chest. The mother, who was carrying her small baby in her arms, had reached the fountain and attempted to free Trellis from the wire. When silts touched Trel lis, the current also knocked her from her feet. Using a long stick, she managed to release him from the charged wire, but by the time aid had been summoned young Trellis was dead. New Director For Kindergarten Miss Olivia Cooper of Charles ton, S.
