Since our last writing quite severe
and painful accident befell Henry
Adams. While engaged at work on
the west end of the Ross & Henry
| mine of this village. The particulars
are as follows: 1t seems his father
was working with him and they
had drilled a hole in the roof,
(termed the back among miners)
and returned after blasting it, before
the smoke had entirely quit the
place but sufficient to see that the
blast had not brought the burden
| as was intended. Whereupon Mr..
| Adams commenced working, his
son Henry seating himself on a
plank a short distance from him.
When the burden fell, bringing with
it more than was intended, striking
Mr.. Adams on the shoulder, bruis-
ing it badly. But young Henry
was more unfortunate, the ground
fell striking him on the leg, breaking
it above the knee, with dislocation
of the bones below and confusion
Of the entire knee joint. DR.. Stull
was called and will reduce the frac-
ture as soon as the swelling abates
sufficient to do so. We sympathize
with Henry in his sad misfortune,
which he seems to bear without a
murmur.
We are called upon to chronicle
the death of respected citizens,
being in the person of Mrs. VIM.
Pollard, who died very suddenly Of
apoplexy, On the Goth inst. She
prepared breakfast in the morning
prior to her death, though she COM
planned somewhat during the night
of not feeling well. The doctor was
called but no immediate alarm was
contemplated and probably all
would have been well respecting
other troubles had not the fatal
stroke presented itself. Mrs. Poll
ard was 45 years and 6 months old,
and was born and raised in the town
of Linden. She leaves a husband
and seven children to mourn her
loss, besides hosts of relatives and
friends. Mrs. Pollard's high reputa-
ton as lady is too well known to
need comment. However we would
say she was ever ready to do kind
act to a stranger as well as to friend.
In short hospitable and charitable
toward all seemed to be her motto.
We deeply sympathize with the
bereaved husband and children in
this their sad affiiction, which SEN
timent seems to be the expression
of all. The funeral took place from
the residence on the following Mon
day. The remains were taken to the
M. E. church where services were
held, conducted by Rev. R. Burnip,
after which all that was mortal was
laid to rest in the Linden cemetery.
The funeral was one of the largest
ever witnessed in this village,
| A CARD OF THANKS.
EDS. DEMocRAT:-I desire through
your columns to express my heart
felt thanks to the people of this
| village and vicinity for their kind
assistance and words of cheer dur
ing my beloved wife's brief sickness
and death. Yours gratefully.
