S.A. Boy Dies in Collision of Two Boats

     A San Antonio youth was killed and another injured about noon Wednesday in the collision of two boats on Lake McQueeney, east of San Antonio.
     Listed as killed was Alton Weimer, 12, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Weimer, of 201 Roosevelt Blvd., and suffering minor injureis was William Hall, 14, of 1910 Saunders Ave.  Both boys were members of Boy Scout Troop 29, which was at the lake on an overnight camp.
     Hurley Henderson, 20, a former member of the troop who was with the Scouts on the camp, reported a small outboard motor boat in which four Scouts were riding was in collision with a speedboat which was pulling a surf board.  The two other Scouts and the occupants of the speedboat were uninjured.
     Weimer's body was recovered about an hour and a half after the accident.  Hall was taken to a hospital in Seguin for treatment, where it was reported he suffered several cuts on the hip.
     Funeral services for young Weimer will be held at 3 p.m. Friday at the Mount Olive Lutheran Church, with Rev. Arthur Repp officiating.  Burial will be at Helotes, Tex.  Besides the parents, he is survived by one sister, Miss Lois Weimer.
