Waggon fall Perkins 1837 at Dymock (Inquests)

by ChrisW, (6460 days ago) @ ChrisW

Aug 26. A distressing accident happened at Dymock on Saturday last, by which a young man named PERKINS lost his life. The unfortunate man fell from the shafts of a waggon laden with coals, and the wheels passing over his body caused his death in a few minutes, thus adding another to the many melancholy accidents which have resulted from the reprehensible practice in which waggoners so frequently indulge.

No burial found - possibly from out of the area.
