Details of Event
It was said that he put his axe and saw on a set of full tubs which a pony was drawing down a landing and that, as the set commenced to move more rapidly, he made a dash to get his tools and striking his head against the roof, he was knocked down against the tubs. His back was seriously injured, and further complications having set in he died on 4th September.
