Notes:

Accidently Shot a Second Time

Arthur Schlender Was Toying With a Loaded Rifle When Gun is Discharged, Bullet Passing Through Hand.

Niagara Falls, Ontario, Dec 26, - Arthur Schlender, 15 years of age, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. Schlender of Victoria Avenue, was accidentally shot on Christmas Eve and is in the Niagara Falls General Hospital. With some companions in the rear of the lad's home they were examining a 22 calibre rifle which one of the boys had received for a Christmas gift, when in some manner the gunn was discharged, the bullet entering Schlender's right hand. He was removed to the hospital and yesterday afternoon taken to the Memorial Hospital, Niagara Falls, N. Y. where the X-ray was used and the bullet located. A coincidence is the fact that young Schlender was accidently shot on a Christmas Eve seven years ago, the bullet entering his eye.

________________________

All I can tell you about Reinhold's son Arthur is that he married someone named Clara, but that they don't appear to have had any children. They lived in a house built by a Scottish immigrant in the 1860s, which they purchased from the government (via another vendor) in 1939. (The property had been expropriated by the Welland Canal Company in 1913 for the expansion of the 4th canal.)

A couple of details about Arthur is that he had first a tobacconist and then a restaurant (the Bright Spot) in Thorold. Before moving to the US, the family seems to have settled in Niagara Falls. Here, the young Arthur had two mishaps with discharging rifles
