New Information on Clyde Black Death

I just found out that the National Archives has vintage newspapers online, and decided to do some searches. I found this article about a terrible horse/carriage/train accident that killed little Clyde Black, son of Robert J. and Blanche Coursin Black, and injured Samuel L. Black. There is also a follow-up article on the condition of Samuel. Samuel lived for many years after this.
