• Notes

  FATAL ACCIDENT. Fred Charles Wolfe, Struck by the Limb of a Falling Tree and Instantly Killed. A very sad accident occurred on the farm of Mr. Noah Weber, opposite Frank Shuh's, about three miles north of Waterloo, yesterday evening about 5 o'clock. Fred Charles Wolfe and his brother Christian, sons of Mr. Christian Wolfe, Queen street, Waterloo, were felling trees in the bush. They were trying to make a tree fall in à direction opposite to which it leaned, when a gust of wind blew the tree down. They ran to get out of its way but the younger brother, Fred, was struck on the side of the head by a timb a few inches in thickness and instantly killed, his neck being broken. The elder brother was also struck on the leg from which he is yet lame. Deceased was about 18 years of age, and was always a dutiful son and very industrious. He was brought bome in a sleigh about an hour after the accident. The grief of the parents was most heart rending when they learned of the sad and untimely death of their son. We are sure they will have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their terrible and sudden bereavement. Waterloo County Chronicle 3 Mar 1898, p. 5
