Wilson Daily Times, 3 January 1917.
I have not been able to find a death record for a 12 year-old child in early January 1917. Nor have I been able to identify a 12 year-old boy named Clark living in the Elm City area in 1917.

Goes to show the same kind of craziness happened back in the day with guns.
Unfortunately so.
