  Melancholy Accident SOUTH BUCKS FREE PRESS SATURDAY OCTOBER 1st 1859 PENN: MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT On Saturday last a most distressing accident occurred in this village to Mr JOHN WOOSTER - baker. It appears that Mr Wooster's horse was a vicious tempered animal and was in the habit of kicking, so much so, as to require to have forefoot strapped up before it could be safely approached. On Saturday morning, Mr Wooster being somewhat pressed for time, ventured to harness the horse without adopting the usual precaution, and when put on the crupper, it kicked out in a most vicious manner and laid Mr Wooster prostrate. The injury received was so serious that he died the same evening. On Monday an inquest, before F Chansley Esq., Coroner, when those facts being given in evidence the jury returned a verdict of accidental death. We understand the horse has been shot, and that a subscrip¬tion has been set on foot, that, the widow who is left with four children, shall not be a loser from the loss of the animal. We doubt not that the appeal will be liberally responded to. --------------------.------ Postscript John Wooster was my Gt gt grandfather and aged 36 at the time of his death. He had been orphaned at age 5· What was not publicly known, was, that his wife was one month pregnant with my gt grandfather, who was given his Father’s name of John. , Shirley Wooster
