Obituary: A sad occurrence took place in Ridgeville township on last Thursday evening, which resulted in the death of a young man. On that evening Mr. Henry Miller, a son of Ambrose Miller, in company with a lot of his young companions, repaired to a neighbors on a "belling" spree. The boys had their sport, but they imbibed a little too freely of intoxicants, and on their return home young, Miller fell by the wayside and could not go further. His companions procured a wheelbarrow, in which he was placed and conveyed to the home of his father, some eighty rods distant. But upon arriving there one can imagine their horror to find that the young man was dead. His body was taken into the house and the Ridgeville physicians sent for, who pronounced that the young man came to his untimely end by choking to death, caused by his condition and the position he occupied in the wheelbarrow. Mr. Miller was an exemplary young man, we are told, and was the main support of his father at home upon the farm, and his sad death has cast a gloom over the entire neighborhood. He was aged 20 years, 2 months and 2 weeks. His funeraltook place at Ridgeville on last Sunday. |
