Interment was at Cottonwood. The report also notes a quiet wedding in Rapid City for Freda Morrison and Cole Start, both teachers in Rapid City schools, who plan a visit to Manhattan, Kansas after the ceremony.

Little Child Falls in Well at Werner Home West Side
A tragic accident yesterday morning at Carl Werner's home on the west side left their young son with a fractured skull after falling into a twenty foot well. He struck the bottom hard, a two foot water cushion not enough to save him. Dr Ince ordered urgent transport to Fort Pierre for surgery.
