A Sad Accident

Mr. Jewitt Jones and his son-in-law, Joseph McKinzie were engaged in driving fence posts last Thursday, when the sledge hammer flew off the handle, striking Mr. Jones in the head killing him almost instantly. Mr. Jones was one of the most highly respected farmers of the township and his many friends were greatly shocked at the news of his sudden and untimely death.
