Grafton Herald: A Miss J. Gudmonson, an
Icelander young lady, about thirty years Of
age, was killed this afternoon about four
O'Clock near the school house east Of town.
She was riding with friend In the rear Of a
lumber wagon. Michael McGrath Of St. An
drews was driving up behind the wagon in
| which Miss Gudmouson was seated, when his
team became frightened and started to run; so
sudden was the start that they sprang into the
wagon, throwing the lady out backwards. It
is believed that the horses and wagon passed
over her head, as It was terribly mangled and
a horrible spectacle. The men returned to
| where she was thrown at once, but the poor
| girl had breathed her last. The remains were
taken to McDongrips undertaking rooms.
We understand she has no relatives in this
