EDWARD A. YOUNG

Humberstone News

[Welland Tribune, 7 January 1898]

A very sad accident occurred on Saturday, and it cost the life of the only son of Samuel Young, a young man of about 17 years. In company with young Seitz, Young was engaged in felling a tree near Brookfield Station, which he lodged against another. While this work was in progress a limb fell and struck Young on the head, fracturing the skull, from the effects of which he died on Sunday night. The fatal accident has cast a gloom over the whole neighborhood, and the family are deeply bereaved by the loss of promising son.
