Read More	THOMAS GULLISON DIES OF INJURIES One of the very saddest tragedies in the history of our city, occurred shortly afternoon last Friday, when Thomas Frederick Gullixson, son of Rev. and Mrs. T. F. Gullixson, received fatal injuries, as a result of being run down by an automobile in which H. Seyfert and two women, one of whom is Mrs. Hills, were riding. The accident occurred on the paving on Third St. N. E. immediately in front of the Joe Hodgins blacksmith shop and was witnessed by several people. The lad was rendered unconscious by his fall to the pavement, it is believed. He was placed in an auto immediately and hurried to St. Joseph's hospital where he passed away at 2 o'clock. He regained consciousness but for a period of a few moments, recognizing his mother. Death was due to contusion and concussion of the brain, coupled with the shock. It is said that the left front wheel of the auto passed over the boy. When the car was stopped, within about twenty feet of where it struck the lad, he was lying under the rear axle. On the paving, it could be plainly seen where the wheels of the auto had slid for about twenty feet before coming to a halt. Dr. W. W. Pence, the Ward county coroner and State's Attorney Herigstad, after conferring with several eye witnesses, decided that it would be advisable to hold an inquest and it is likely that it will be held this afternoon. If Mr. Seyfert and the two ladies are blameless, the authorities feel that an investigation is due them. Mr. Behan, who drives an express wagon, saw the accident. He says he saw four or five boys standing on the sidewalk and two of them, one of whom was Thomas Gullixson, started to cross the street. He saw H. Seyfert, a G. N. car repairer, and the two women coming in the car at a fair rate of speed. Evidently they did not see the lad until the car was close upon him, and apparently the driver of the car, according to Mr. Behan, did not apply the brakes until about the time the lad was struck. The car was stopped as quickly as possible and Mr. Seyfert took the boy to a physician's office and secured the lad's mother. According to Mr. Seyfert, the boy ran out from behind an automobile parked by the curb, and seeing the approaching car, turned to run back to the curb, but fell. There were slight bruises on the boy's chin and on the body. The car is owned by one of the women it is said, and the authorities are not certain whether it was driven by Mr. Seyfert or one of the women. They had phoned to Mr. Seyfert, asking him to drive the car over onto the north side so they might come over town to lunch. While on their way to lunch, the accident happened. Rev. T. F. Gullixson, the boy's father, who has long been pastor of the First Lutheran church of this city, was in Minneapolis on business at the time of the accident. He hurried home, arriving at 1:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The funeral was held at the First Lutheran church Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, a very large number of friends attending. The services were in charge of Rev. L. T. Reishus of Velva. The body was laid to rest in the First Lutheran cemetery. The body was viewed by hundreds of friends at the home between 10 a. m. and 1 p. m. Monday. Many beautiful floral offerings were received and the funeral procession was one of the largest ever seen in the city. Thomas Frederick Gullixson was born in Minot, Feb. 9, 1913. He was the only son in the family and was such a "pal" of his father's. He was in the third grade in McKinley school and was a remarkably bright, manly boy and would undoubtedly have developed into a splendid type of manhood. He is survived by three sisters, the mother and father who have the sincere sympathy of all over their irreparable loss. **The Ward County Independent, Thursday, June 22, 1922, Page 1
