Fatal
Accident.
Maple Leaf -- Last
Tuesday a very sad accident happened on the farm of Mr. Peter B.
Boughner, in Woodhouse.
About 3 p.m. he left for
Port Ryerse, leaving his wife in the field driving a team attached
to a roller, something she knew well how to do.
On his return on calling
at the field he was horrified to find Mrs. Boughner dead a short
distance behind the roller. The horses were in different parts of
the field. The double-tree and neck-yoke were broken.
It is not known how the
accident happened. The doctors say the roller did not pass over
the body, but two slight injuries were found on it. They and the
general public are at a loss how to account for the unfortunate
accident.
The deceased leaves a
family of six children and a husband to mourn her loss. The
funeral yesterday was largely attended by sympathizers of the
family.
