Sledding Accidents Cause Death, Injury To Children

Reports of two serious sledding accidents have come to the Review.

Near Selinsgrove, Pa., the sled ridden by 11-year-old Eli A. Yoder was struck by a car, inflicting a skull fracture which proved fatal several hours later. Funeral services for the boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin C. Yoder, were held Jan. 2.

Edith Martin, nine-year-old daughter of Mrs. Ruth Martin of Dayton, Va., was coasting on a hill when her sled collided with another one, causing a serious skull injury. She was admitted to the hospital and underwent surgery.
