- Son of Mr Frank Clarke
- TRAGIC DEATH.
- The friends of Mr. Frank Clarke, of Abbotsford, Sydney, until recently of Mudgee, will learn with great regret of the death in tragic circumstances of his son, Eric Lawrence, aged 11 years, who on Friday fell whilst attempting to alight from a moving tram at Five Dock, and was fatally injured.
- The tram had almost pulled up, when young Clarke jumped from the footboard, and, losing his balance, fell heavily on to his head. His father, who was reading a newspaper, had not noticed the boy alight, and was not aware of the accident till his daughter, sitting beside him, cried out. Mr. Clarke rushed to where his son lay and found him unconscious. The boy died late in the day.
