HAZEL MOUCK
[Welland Telegraph. 25 September 1891]
A very sad accident occurred here on Saturday evening in the drowning of the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. Mouck. Little Hazel was a remarkably bright little child only 22 months old and known to everyone in the village. On Saturday Mrs. Mouck was carrying water from the cistern to the kitchen, and the pump being broken had removed the cover. The child was playing at some distance, and the mother watched that she did not come near the cistern, but while she took one pail full to the house the little thing wandered to the fatal spot and fell in, although the mother was scarcely half a minute absent. As soon as she missed the little girl she searched the yard and not finding her the awful suspicion that the child had fallen in dawned upon her and upon investigation the worst fears were realized. It was too late, however, to save the child’s life as she had been in the water about five minutes when the body was recovered. The funeral took place on Monday to Overholt’s cemetery. Much sympathy is felt with the bereaved parents who feel very deeply their sorrow.
