Boy Walks to Death By Sister-
Tells Her to Tell Mother She Only Has Three Brothers Should He Fall----
CUMBERLAND, Md., Jan. 8,-- "Go home and tell mother that you only have three brothers left." This is what
Hesper Bible, twelve years old, is alleged to have told his sister just before falling to his death from the wall of the
old cement mill at Cedar Cliff about 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon. According to the girl he had previously told her
as he was walking along the wall that should he fall she would only have three brothers left. The girl who was
playing with her brother immediately ran to the house and told her mother of the accident. He was dead when his
mother arrived.
Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Job Bible of Cedar Cliff he is also survived by three small brothers and one
sister. Funeral services will be held from the residence this afternoon after which the body will be taken to
Frankfort for burial.
