Read More	John Francis Gauthier, Jr. was the son of John Francis Gauthier and Minnie Lucas Gauthier. He died in an Earthen Cave-in. MUSCATINE JOURNAL - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1915 FOUR LADS PERISH UNDER EARTHEN AVALANCHE WHEN ROOF OF DUG OUT FALLS IN -Young Boys Buried Under Debris When Retreat Collapses JAYNE PASTURE SCENE - Youths Ranging in Ages from 13 to 16 - Victims of Most Tragic Local Accident in a Decade - One Barely Escapes. NO CHANCE OF LIFE - Rescuers Rush to Accident Scene With Pulmotor But Lives are Crushed Out Before Rescue Is Effected - City Shocked. A dug-out in the side of a steep hill in the Jayne pasture in the west end of the city which for less than a week had been the favorite rendezvous of the boys of the neighborhood became the tomb of four of the youthful inmates of the cave when the collapse of the excavated retreat buried them beneath tons of sand and clay late yesterday afternoon. The death of the four imprisoned lads resulted before they could be rescued. The dead are: JOHN GAUTHIER, 933 Lucas street - Age 14 years. CHARLES BECKE, 1103 Lucas street - Age 13 HARRY DAVISON, 1097 Lucas street - Age 16 GLEN THOMPSON, colored, Bridgeman street - Age 14 PARENTS SEEK TO AID - John Gauthier, Jr. was 14 years old, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Gauthier of 933 Lucas St. The parents overwhelmed with grief could hardly give a coherent account of the terrible affair., but the father stated that as soon as he heard the fire trucks going by the house some one informed him that his boy was among those who were in the cave at the time of the accident. Both father and mother hurried to the spot only to be informed of the hopelessness of further efforts to revive the little victim. John Gauthier, Jr., was an exceptionally bright student, he attended the McKinley school in the 7th . He was born in Marshalltown, the former home of the Gauthiers, but had lived in this city with his parents until this unfortunate event which caused his death. As in the other bereaved families funeral arrangements up to the present time have not been arranged, but will be announced later. Besides both parents the decedent is survived by three sisters and two brothers. The funeral for John Gauthier, Jr., will be held from the residence at 2 o'clock Thursday, the Rev. J. W. Graves of the First Baptist church officiating. Interment at Greenwood cemetery Note: To see rest of article go to The Muscatine Journal, Friday, October 15, 1915.
