1869
On. Tuesday last, an inquest was held at the "Rose and Crown," before T. T. Delasaux, Esq., Coroner, touching the death of John Knowler, farm labourer, aged 79 years, who, on the previous day, fell from a strew-stack, and died from the injuries sustained. Thomas Couchman said that he was at work with the deceased at the farm of Mr. Woollett, loading a waggon with straw. Deceased was on the stack throwing the bundles to witness, when he fell, striking his head upon the wheel of the waggon. He died almost immediately afterwards. Mr. Herbert Beadles, surgeon, proved that the result of a post mortem examination made by him was the discovery of the fracture of a vertibrae in the head, the pressure from which produced death. A verdict of accidental death was returned.
