The unfortunate accident happened at neighbor's when Mr. Gingrich went over to obtain a load of hay. The wagon had been backed into the barn, the load put on an just as Mr Gingrich picked up the lines and was half way up the front of the load the horses started forward. The jolt of the wagon going off the barn floor to the ground threw him down and the wagon wheels passed over his chest and shoulder.
