• Notes

  ACCIDENTAL DEATH Port Louisa, Township March 23d,1868" Mr. Editor:-- Yesterday our community was started by the intelligence that JAMES WINDER was found dead on the Muscatine Island, nearly opposite the residence of his father, SAMUEL WINDER. The facts brought out by testimony before a jury of inquest were these: On last Saturday, deceased with two of his brothers crossed the lake, for the pupose of shooting ducks and geese. They separated, James going in one direction, and WILLIAM and his brother in another. After several hours spent in hunting, William and his brother came back to the skiff, intending to cross home, but could not find their brother, James. They hunted until night, then returned home, procured more assistance, and hunted a good part of the night. Yesterday morning, they found him lying on his back across a log, his left hand on his right breast, his gun close by him, one barrel discharged, a gun shot wound in his right hand and right breast. It was evident that he had the gun in his right hand and partly over the muzzle when it was discharged, tearing away the palm of his hand and lodging the load in his right breast. He did not, in all probability, live but a few minutes after the discharge. His funeral took place today, and he was followed to the grave by a very large concourse of sympathizing friends. the desceased, about one year ago, made a public profession of religion and connected with the U.P. (United Presbyterian) Church, at Harrison, and was a consistent Christian until the time of his death." W. Kennedy"From another source we learn that the unfortunate man must have been standing on the log, the gun resting on it's breech by his side, and that by accident the gun must have slipped off, striking the hammer on the side of the log with sufficient force to explode the cap. We are much obliged to Mr. Kennedy for his thoughtfulness in sending us the facts."Newspaper article provided by "techdocs" 6 Jun 2000
