Fred Reynolds Receives Serious In
iuries Friday Forenoon, at HalioWe'l.

An accident occurred on the main
line Of the Lewiston, Augusta Wa
terville Street Railway Friday forenoon
through which it is said Fred Reynolds
of this city, by stepping over against
a car which was approaching behind
him. was thrown down and under the
car wheels, sustaining injuries TO the
left leg which were of such serious
nature that it was found necessary
TO amputate the member at the knee.
The place at which the accident DC
Cured was under the overhead bridge
of the Maine Central Railroad at
Hallowell
The car which struck Mr.. Reynolds
was No. "a. the 'Worromontogus, one
Of the eight wheelers, which had lett
Augusta at $50 on the trip to Gardl-
ner, and was in charge of Conductor
w. s. Dudley and Motorman John Mo-
rang, they having taken the car on It's
arrival at the car barn on lower State
street. AS the car was passing down
the hill just north of the overhead
bridge an empty coal team was seen
ahead. going toward Hallowell, and
with two men following in the road
hphlnQ II, tIlc VI Nticui Noo MI ~
nolds.
On approaching the bridge the raf
was. according to custom. running
snowy and with the power shut Off
and as the forward end passed Mr..
REYNOLDS he. apparently not hearing it,
stanpad IN one side and directly
AGAINST the car. The vestibule of the
car had passed the man before he took
the step, so that the motorman did not
see him. and as he did SO the corner OF
the car struck him, knocking MN 70
the ground. and the rear set OF trucks
nassed over his left leg below the
knee. crushing and mangling it in
shocking manner.
The injured man was taken on ooard
the car and carried to the Undertaking
rooms of +. B. Wood at Halloween
where temporary dressings We're APP
piled. after which he was brought 20
/ Augusta in Plummer's ambulance and
taken to the City hospital, where the
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1908-02-01

operation was performed as stated
above. Last evening he was reported
as comfortable as could be expected.
From the way in which the accident
occurred there seems to be no reason
whereby any blame could be attached
to the management of the road or to
the men in charge of the car Both Of
the lnen are old employees and Capt.
John Morang is one of the most care
full motormen on the road. There is
every reason to believe that Mr.. Roy
noids did not hear the approaching car
ard that it was to this fact that the &C
cident was due.

w. n. LITTLE.
Formerly Of Augusta, Passes Away
Jan. %, at Whittier, Calf.

w. H Little, formerly Of this city
and a brother of the late Mrs G. Il.
Hanks, died at the home of his son,
George E. Little of Whittier. Calf,
Thursday morning. Jan. 20. after an
extended illness The Whittier Daily
News of that date had the following
in relation to his death:
w. H Little passed away at 80
this morning at the home of his son
George f. Little, of North Washing
ton avenue. after an extended illness
Mr. Little had been sufferer for
several years and two years ago I'M
derwent an operation in the hope of
prolonging his life, but he never re-
covered from this operation and has
been gradually failing since, until the
end came peacefully this morning.
Prominent during his life in many
good works, a broad-minded man OF
high ideals, his life was exemplary
ana an inspiration to all who knew
him.
William Henry Little was born III
Augusta. Me, july 3, 1892, and here
the first IS years of his life were
spent.
In 1850 he removed to Canton, Mass.
where he lived the greater part of his
life. During the years of his resi-
dcnce at Canton. he was very much
interested in church and Sunday school
work, being superintendent Of the Sun
day school for several years, which
interest he retained after his removal
to Tracy, Mimi, in 1881. The deceased
was married to Mary a. Barnard in
Canton, Mass, about 1855, and Two
children, n son, George z. Little OF
Whittier. and Il daughter, now the wife
of DR., w. L. Haskell. of BridsetOn
Me. blessed their union. The death OF
his wife occurred in 1872. Later he
was married to Miss Victoria Chase, Oh
Canton, Mass, whose death occurred
several years ago. To them was born
one son. Charles G. Little, Of San Jose
who arrived in this city about week
ago, to be with his father in his last
illness.
During the decedent's residence at
Tracy, Mimi, he was mayor of the
city and 4 prominent member of the
school board for a number of years
He was throughout his life a Staunch
supporter of the Republican party and
ever a fair minded public spirited man
He had been an honored member Of the
Masonic order for so years.
Six years ago he removed from
Tracy to Whittier to make his home
with his son, George Z. Little and
during these brief years of his resi-
dence in Whittier, the kindly old gen
tleman made numbers of friends, who
will sincerely mourn his loss.
A peculiar coincidence of special sig
nificance to Mr. Little and family is
the fact that this day. Jan. %. which
brought the death of loved one, also
some years ago gained them life. it
being the birthday of Marjory Little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Little
Funeral services for the decedeh'
will be held from the family residence
on North Washington avenue, neXt
Saturday afternoon at . o'clock. The
Masonic order will be in charge of the
service at $50.
