The body of Frank Shumaker, the boy who was killed by a Rock
Island train in the west yards the evening of December 29, was
sent to Stansberry, Mo., where his parents live, Thursday. His
aunt, Mrs. C. W. Durand of Oklahoma City accompanied the body.
Mrs. Durand says that the boy had been visiting her, en route
home from Wyoming, and that on the day of his death she had
furnished him with money to buy a ticket home. She does not
believe that he was riding on the blind baggage at the time of
the accident. The boy's father is an attorney.
