    FATAL ACCIDENT.--On Monday forenoon the village was thrown into a a state of excitement by the occurrence of one of the saddest accidents Dundee has seen for many days. Mr. Moses Hunsberger in the morning left home a hale and hearty man,leaving his family in the usual good spirits, but was taken back at noon & stiffened icy corpse. He had taken a daughter to a farmer near Ayr and was returning home, when, about 11.30 as he was driving down Benjamin street, opposite Rev. E. Gruetzner's, the front axle broke. The buggy dropped striking" the horse's heel, and the infuriated beast. dashed madly down the street turning past Poth's shop, dragging the buggy and its unfortunate occupant. It sharply turned Chipman's corner towards the black bridge. This turn, so short and made at a break-neck speed, hurled Mr. Hunsberger head-first against the frozen bank. He was at once carried into Poth's shop and Dr. Miliar was immediately summoned. All assistance was in vain, however. He showed no signs of life except a light breathing until shortly after one o'clock when he expired. The family had promptly been called. His wife arrived in time to see her husband breathe his last. He leaves a widow and 5 children, 2 sons and 3 daughters. He was about 56 years old and died a member of the Mennonites. Much sympathy is expressed for the bereaved family.

Shortly after their marriage they moved about a mile south of Breslau where he was the proprietor of the large farm now in possession of his youngest son, Absalom. he is the only one of his father's large family that is still living, and is yet quite strong considering his great age. His mental powers are good yet and he seems to enjoy the best of health but is anxiously waiting for the time to be called home to the mansions beyond. Since the decease of his wife he resides in his own house on the old place, having a housekeeper. His family consisted of eight children".
