SERIOUS ACCIDENT

[Welland Tribune, 26 April 1895]

Yesterday forenoon Walter Clendennan, an old resident of this town, met with a serious and perhaps fatal accident. As he was teaming brick between Welland and Port Colborne the front board of the wagon broke and he fell forward under the horses’ feet, and was terribly kicked in the face. His jaw was broken of both sides, face otherwise hurt, also shoulder injured. Dr. Howell, who was called, thinks recovery doubtful. An effort is being made to have the sufferer removed to St. Catharines hospital for treatment, for which there are no conveniences at his residence.
