The body of Dwight Cushman, who
died Friday night at his home, No.
20 Church street, Hartford, was
brought here Tuesday for burial. Mr..
Cushman had not been in good health
for some months, but his condition
did not require him to take to his bed
antil Thursday of last week. He was
born in Worcester, Mass, January

boy the family removed to Belcher-
town. He came to West Stafford from
Belchertown when 20 years old and
carried on the business of carriage
making. He went to Hartford in
1859 and was engaged in the manu-
facture of iron turbine wheels. He
continued in that business until the
shop he occupied was burned some
years ago. Mr.. Cushman never held
public Office and he was not associated
with any fraternal organization.
Years ago he became a member of the
Pearl street Congregational church,
and he continued his membership
with the church when the new edifice
was built on Pennington avenue.
Mr.. Cushman leaves a wife, who was
Miss Martha Holmes of West Stafford
before her marriage to Mr.. Cushman
in 1914. There are no children.
Austin F. Cushman, president of the

ford, is brother, and sister, Mrs.
Ellen Dorman, lives in Belchertown.

In the death of John Toberman,
which occurred Saturday afternoon as
the result of a shooting accident, an
other case has been added to the long
list of tragedies caused by the careless
handling of firearms by boys. Tober-
man, in company with his cousins,
Tony and Frank Safranek of Wilt
mantle, and a Joe Taylor, also of
Willimantic, all boys of 16 or under,
had been out cunning during the
afternoon, and about 4 O'Clock had got
around to the Darling" place, now
owned by Frank Vanasek. The story
the boys tell from that time is that
Toberman stood with the gun stand
ing on the ground, with the muzzle
pointing at his breast. He had a
revolver which he lad been using
during the afternoon, and now he
fired it in such way that it struck
or Jared the gun, which went off,
firing the whole charge into Tober-
mans right breast, killing him almost
instantly. The boys say that he said,
81 am the only one to blame, good
bye to all" before he died. Tober-
man was 16 years of age, and had
been employed by G. Hall, Jr., 6 Go.
in the dressing room and lived with
his parents on the Pinney place, just
east of the village. An older brother,
Joseph, died June 13, 1901, from the
effects of a cut in the leg, made by a
knife while winding thread.
