• Notes

  WOLF - An inquest was held on the 26th of May by Coroner Koetech of Preston on the body of a young man named Adolf Wolf, aged 24 years, who was found dead in his bed on the morning of that day. It would appear that the young man had been in the employment of Mr. George Clemens, near Preston, and from the evidence adduced, had been to Hespeler and Preston for two days previous, celebrating the 24th. Early in the morning of the 26th, he came to the residence of Mr. Clemens and retired to bed along with a son of Mr. Clemens. Mr. Clemens did not observe anything particular about the deceased further than that he seemed somewhat excited, but as he had been at a dance at Preston, nothing was thought of this. On awakening, young Clemens was horrified to find him stiff and cold beside him - a corpse. It was surmised that deceased had been poisoned, but upon a post mortem examination, it was found that he had died of apoplexy, caused by congestion of the brain, and a verdict was rendered to that effect. Hamilton Spectator 5 Jun 1866
