From Brighton Enterprise: "A sad accident occurred on the Trail farm near Veo last Thursday morning, when Nat Trail was instantly killed by being run over by a hay wagon. The two Trail boys, Nat and Jim, were living alone on the farm since the death of their mother last March, and the accident occurred while putting up their hay. Nat’s team becoming frightened while at the barn unloading, and ran away. He was thrown under the horses feet and one wheel of the loaded wagon passed over his head, fracturing the skull and causing instant death.”
