George w. Prior Killed in a Run
away Accident.

News was received here last week
Friday evening OF the tragic death
at Orwell of Geo. w. Prior, a for
mer resident, and brother OF E. w.
Prior Of this village. A despatch
from Orwell tells the story as fol-
lows:
George Prior, furniture dealer and
undertaken in the village, was in
stantly killed in the north part of the
town this afternoon. He had been
! in that section of the town to deliver
some furniture and had a very high
spirited horse and the roads were
very rough there. In some way the
horse got the advantage Of him and
began running, and when near the
stone schoolhouse Mr.. Prior was
thrown from the wagon and his
neck was broken. Some men in the
field near by saw the accident and
ran to the spot but MIR. Prior was
dead before they reached him. The
doctor says that death was instanta-
eous. The horse ran about half
mile further but was secured before
it had damaged itself or the wagon.
Mr.. Prior's body was removed to
his home where the funeral was held
Sunday afternoon, Rev. b. Swift
officiating. Monday the body was
taken to Ludlow for burial.
Mr.. Prior was about 50 years Of
age and went to Orwell several years
ago from Woodstock.
The funeral services in Orwell
We're attended by E. w. Prior Of
Woodstock, A. &. Prior of Maiden,
Mass, E. J. Prior of Mt. Holly, and
son Norris of Ludlow; Mrs. Julia
Taylor of Sherhurne, sister of Mr..
Prior; Charles Prior OF Chester, il
nephew; Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Pow
ers and two children of Proctor, and
members of the Masonic lodge of
which Mr.. Prior was member.
The funeral party was met at Lud-
low, where Mr.. Prior formerly
lived, by large number of friends,
and the burial there was under Ma
sonic auspices.
MIR. Prior is survived by his wife
and two daughters, Mrs. Marion
Hemenway of Galesbu,g, H., and
Mrs. Edwin Ochembaugh, who lives
at home, her mother being an inva-
lid. Mr.. Ochembaugh was in COM
pany with his father-in-law and will
continue the business.
Mr.. Prior is we'll remembered
here as popular and respected
business man and his sudden death
comes as great shock to his family
and to his friends here and in other
communities where he has resided.
