Pittsburgh Gazette Times -- August 27, 1911

Canonsburg, Pa., Aug. 27. – One cheery little face is missed about the streets today by the newsies. One of their number, brightest and popular with schoolmates and customers, was Walter Neish, aged 14 years, who perished under the feet of the Opera House audience Saturday night. Just how the little newsie met his fate is not known. His parents, Mr. And Mrs. William M. Neish, of 167 East Pike street, find it hard to realize that they will never see the sunny-faced boy who brought so much sunshine into their lives. On the street the newsies tell of what a good-hearted little chap Walter was, and tears dim the eyes of the playmates who talk about him.
