Lee Stone
 

Kentucky Post, Saturday, 26 August 1905, page 5

Lee, 10, son of Louis Stone, the Sixth av. Dayton, merchant, was buried alive yesterday afternoon while playing with other boys on Sixth av. near Dayton av. They were in the cellar recently completed for the new Wessling house, when a bank of sand and dirt caved in on young Stone. His two arms remained above the dirt and Al Schwab, the 12 year old son of F J Schwab, seized one of the arms and pulled him out.

He was carried to his home near by and Dr. Young called. In addition to a number of bruises about the body, he complained of a pain in his side and it will be several days before the result is known.
