    Notes:

    GOODFELLOW - On Friday evening last, a melancholy and fatal accident occurred in our own immediate vicinity to a well known and respected farmer, late of Dumfries, and more recently of Waterloo; viz., Mr. Andrew Goodfellow, a man of about 60 years of age. It appears that Mr. G. with his own team and assisted by several others, as well as Mr. Lamb of Carlisle, had that day been moving his (Mr. G's) nephew from Dumfries on to a farm in Beverly, and on returning home by way of Galt in the evening about the darkening, and when in the neighbourhood of Hunter's Tavern, Mr. Goodfellow slipped from a newly painted box on which he was sitting in the act of driving, and fell headlong into the road, fracturing his skull, and sustaining other severe injuries, causing concussion of the brain. He was immediately lifted into the waggon by his companions and conveyed towards Preston, and although he continued for some time to breathe he was quite insensible and no doubt expired long before the party reached that village. A drink of water was offered him at Groff's Creek, but the poor man was beyond recovery and unable to swallow it, if not actually dead at the time. An inquest was held in Preston and the jury by their foreman, Mr. W. Chapman of Galt, returned a verdict that he died of accidental fall from a waggon. We are sorry to state that evidence was given to show that the deceased was under the influence of liquor at the time and the party were driving rather rapidly, although it was alleged he was capable of taking care of himself. He has left a widow and family to mourn his sudden and deplorable end.
