John Davison

Notes:

Richmond Mills, N. Y. - A sad and shocking accident occurred in our midst Thursday evening. As John Davidson, a farmer by occupation, was throwing down fodder he had to cross a certain stick of timber in the barn; when he was half way across he lost his balance, falling a distance of ten feet. He being a large man the fall injured him internally, so badly that he was unconscious when picked up a few minutes later. Medical assistance was summoned at once but was of no avail. He suffered great pain until Friday evening when he died with an inward hemorrhage. He leaves, besides his wife, a father and mother, two brothers and a sister, Mrs. John Sleight, all of whom were with him during his illness. His funeral was largely attended Sunday afternoon from the school at Dennison's Corners. Interment at the same place. His grief-stricken family have the sympathy of his many acquaintances in this community.
