Fatal Accident at Sutton Forest.

IT is with feelings of deep regret that we (Scrutineer) report the sudden death of Mr. J.D. Jones, of Sutton Forest, which took place on Friday last. It appears that at 10 o'clock on that day he got into his buggy opposite his store to drive to Cross Roads, and after proceeding about 100 yards the horse shied at a piece of newly-formed road, and in doing so shook deceased somewhat that he let go the reins, whereupon the horse bolted along the side of the road, upsetting the buggy and precipitating Jones on to his head and shoulder. There being a number of persons who saw the accident, deceased was quickly brought to his residence, and Dr. Madden was at once called in, and did all in his power to alleviate his sufferings, but with no avail, as he expired at about 6:30 the same day from blood on the brain and internal injuries. An inquest was held by Mr. C.L. Nicholson, J.P. (coroner), when a verdict of accidental death was returned. Deceased was 65 years of age and had been a resident of the district for over 25 years.

FATAL BUGGY ACCIDENT AT SUTTON FOREST.-
 

It is with feelings of deep regret that we report the death of Mr. J.D. Jones of Sutton Forest, which took place on Friday 22nd instant. It appears that at ten o'clock on that morning he got into his buggy opposite his store to drive to Cross Roads, and after proceeding about a hundred yards the horse shied at a piece of newly-formed road and in doing so shook deceased somewhat so that he let go the reins, whereupon the horse bolted along the side of the road upsetting the buggy, precipitating Jones on to his head and shoulder. There being a number of persons who saw the accident, deceased was quickly brought to his residence, and Dr. Madden was at once called in, and did all in his power to alleviate his suffering, but with no avail as the deceased expired at about half-past six the same day, from blood on the brain and internal injuries. An inquest was held by Mr. C.L. Nicholson, coroner, when a verdict of accidental death was returned. Deceased was sixty-five years of age and had been a resident of the district for over twenty-five years, and for the past five years had carried on a store at Sutton Forest. Deceased was universally respected by all who knew him, and great sympathy is expressed for his wife and four children, all of whom are grown up. His remains were interred in the Church of England cemetery, Sutton Forest, on Sunday in the presence of a large number of friends. - Scrutineer.

The Kendall Children.

I started this post a while ago and was going to finally finish and post it yesterday however our four grandchildren came over and I got sidetracked.  Our grandchildren range in age now from six down to one;  they are so full of life (each of them lights up a room when they enter it) and we feel extremely blessed to have them in our lives.  After spending the afternoon researching this post, their arrival made this tragedy even more poignant for me and so I appreciated their company even more than usual and hugged them a bit tighter too!  This morning I woke up to a cold, wet and windy Wagga day and the thought of three little girls out in August weather like this, in light weight dresses with no shoes or jumpers impacted on me even more. Those poor babies! One of the girls was found still clasping her doll that she had carried with her over the whole tragic journey. When my husband and I were looking around the Wagga Wagga Monumental Cemetery some time ago we came across a very sad he
