- Lad, 5, Meets Death In Front of Home
Run down by an automobile on the Niagara Falls boulevard near the Witmer road, town of Wheatfield, shortly after 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon Eugene Donald Stenzel, five years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Stenzel, in front of whose residence the accident occurred, died in the DeGraff Memorial hospital half an
hour later. Dr. John Kinzly, who attended the child, found that he sustained a fractured skull, a broken leg and numerous bruises and contusions.
Driver Released
Leo J. Roy of 1925 Tenth street, Niagara Falls, driver of the machine, was released after making a statement to Coroner J. E. Helwig and the state troopers. Dr. Helwig will continue the investigation of the accident today. Roy said he was on his way to
the Falls and did not see the boy until he dashed into the highway, a short distance away. The Stenzels have their mail box on that side of the boulevard opposite their home. It is thought the child was on his way to the box to get the mail and was oblivious of the approaching machine. Funeral to be Wednesday. Besides his parents a brother, Gordon, survives. Funeral services will be conducted Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence and at 2:30 o'clock from the St. James church in Bergholz. The Rev. Otto Bruss will officiate. Burial will be in St. John's cemetery at St. Johnsburg.
