The deceased, who was in his 19th year, held the greatest esteem of all his fellow workmen and those with whom he came into daily contact. He had only been back at work a little over a fortnight, since recovering from an attack of typhoid, which occasioned a stay of several weeks at the Conisbrough Isolation Hospital.
We extend our most sincere condolences to the friends and relatives of the deceased.
