ACCIDENT
[Welland Tribune, 30 May 1872]
On Sunday evening last, whilst Mr. Ralph Rice and his sisters, Miss Belle Rice and Mrs. Henry Garner, of Pelham, were proceeding homeward from attendance at the re-opening services in the Wesleyan Church here, a serious accident befel them. They were in a democrat wagon, and when driving past Mr. Thomas Griffith’s place, the horses started up suddenly, loosening the hinder seat and throwing it and its occupants, the two ladies, backwards out of the wagon and on the hard road. Both ladies were badly jarred by the fall, Miss Rice so much as to be rendered insensible for a time. They were immediately taken into Mr. Griffith’s house and placed under a doctor’s care, and have since recovered sufficiently to enable them to proceed to their homes.
