Preble ... Mr. and Mrs. Burr wish to extend their thanks to the neighbors and friends for their kind assistance in their bereavement, and also the choir for their services. On Tuesday of last week Mrs. Addison Burr had a narrow escape from death, while her little grandson, Ernest Porter, aged six years, who was with her, was killed. On Tuesday Mr. Burr sent his wife to take their hired girl home to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Shell, on the East hill. On her way homo the harness gave way coming down the steep bill by Mr. Carver's, letting the buggy against the horse, which caused him to run and kick. While crossing a large break in the road, Mrs. Burr and the little boy were thrown to the
ground. The boy lived but a short time, and, judging from the ugly gashes upon the head and body, was kicked to death. Mrs. Burr is suffering from the fall and bruises. The funeral of the boy was held at his grandparents', where he was staying. The Rev. Mr. Angler officiated.

- He resided in Havana Cuba when he registered for the WWI draft (13 Sep 1918) He was employed by Getman Commercial Co, and listed his wife and 2 children as closest relatives. The registration was filed by the American Vice counsul.- Obituary (The Herald Mail, Fairport, NY, Thursday, November 20, 1930)
The Lyons Republican of last week contained the following in relation to the. death of Frank L. Getman in Havana, Cuba, whose wife was formerly a resident here, Miss Belle Tubbs, a daughter of Mrs. Sarah Tubbs, who resides at the corner of South Main and Pleasant Streets.
Funeral services for Frank L. Getman, 55 years old, a native of Havana, Cuba, where he had lived for the past 25 years, were conducted Monday afternoon in the Lyons Presbyterian church, the Rev.- Albert Thomas officiating. Burial was in South Lyons cemetery. The bearers, all old friends of the deceased were: F. W. Gucker, John W. Rodenback, Daniel Moran, Willard Ennis, Harvey Shepard and Fred Mirick.
Surviving are his widow; a daughter, Mrs. John Ross of Havana, Cuba; a son, F. L. Getman of Mercersburg, Va., Academy; a sister, Marion of Lyons, who has been visiting in Concord, N. H.; and two brothers, Dr. William T. Getman of Buffalo and George T. Getman of the Getman - Moore Drug Company.
Mr. Getman lived an eventful life, was prominent in this state as an engineer and well know throughout the island of Cuba for his business enterprises there. He spent 25 years of his life in Cuba, going there from Albany, N. Y., following work for two years as the first deputy state engineer. Previously he had been city engineer in Ithaca and Hudson, N. Y. He was a graduate of Cornell University.
When he arrived in Cuba Mr. Getman undertook the supervision of a large contract to construct pavements and sewers throughout the island. He liked Havana and decided to remain there. Business appealed to him and he set himself up in the produce business. This led to his taking up the agencies for automobiles. Mr. Getman did a large business on the island as the dealer for the Mack truck, the Chrysler automobile and later the Reo.
He frequently made, trips to the factories and always when he did made it a point to stop in Lyons. Every summer, in fact, he spent a month or so visiting in his old home town. He spent the month of August here this year, and while not feeling well did not indicate to his friends that he was not in good health. His brother, George, however, believes that malaria, coupled with business worries, was taking its toll of Frank. The latter complained at times that he might be suffering from the grippe.
Mr. Getman enjoyed his visits to Lyons, partly because he was a native, partly because of his many friends, and because he liked so much to come to the cottage he had at Sodus Point. While here he renewed friendships too numerous to mention, of men with whom in companionship he had spent much of his younger life.
The Getman-Moore Drug store was closed over the week-end in respect to the memory of Mr. Getman.
The funeral service for Mr. Getman in the Presbyterian church was attended by a large gathering of his friends. A simple and brief address by the pastor of the church, the Rev. A. J. Thomas emphasized the love and respect in which Mr. Getman was held by all who knew him. He was a man of quiet demeanor, and perhaps his chief asset was kindly thought and deeds for others.
The body arrived by train Monday and was accompanied by Mrs. Getman

5 From Area Studyng At Mexico City College
Special to the Courier-Express
Mexico City, May 19 - Five students whose homes are in the Buffalo are are getting a better perspective on their own country by studying in Mexico.
They are amoung students from the United States who are now living in Mexico City and attending Mexico City College, The only American type educational institution in Latin America.
Patricia B. Gregory, ...William A. Allen, ... Leroy F. Reece, ..., Albert A. Sidel, ....
William T. Getman attended Yale University and served five years in the Navy Air Corps in the Pacific before coming to Mexico City College where he is rrujoring in Art.
These and most other students at the college live in Mexican homes where they not only become proficient in Spanish, but also are able to observe first hand the family life and customs of the country.
Another attraction is the exchange rate of 8.65 pesos for $1, U. S., which enables the student with a small income to live comfortably and cheaply and still have enough left to go to a hai-aiai game, a bull fight or other fascinating activities in the city and nearby. For veterans who are studying at the college under the GI Bill, this is especially advantageous.
Other appealing features, particularly for students of anthropology, are the hundreds of archaeological ruins and sites near Mexico City.
"Most important of all," says Dean Paul V. Murray, "'is the college's service in developing a better understanding between different peoples. We believe we are taking a step ahead in bringing all nations more closely together."
