Borel Frontis, 5, Struck by Swinging Brick, July 23, 1925

Borel Frontis Gets Lick on Head

While at play with a number of young companions in the field in rear of his home Monday afternoon, Master Borel Frontis, the 5-year-old son of Dr. and Mrs. Shelly Frontis, received a severe though not a serious lick on the back of his head. Some of the children had a brick tied to a long rope or string and were swinging it to and fro over a deep ditch. Borel, unnoticed by the others, walked in the way of the brick, which struck him on the back of the head, cutting a severe gash which required a number of stitches. The young fellow is out at play again and is apparently none the worse for the painful experience.
