The way in which the most deplorable accident at Frederica, which was reported in yesterday’s T-A, occurred, is as follows: After service at Christ’s church Tuesday evening, which is about one- fourth mile from the residence of Mr. Dodge, the four children, Mr. Dodge’s little son and adopted daughter, and Mrs. Cantwell’s two little girls were put in the buggy for a ride home, a negro boy leading the horse. They got safely home, and into the barn yard when one of the children shook the reins, which made the horse trot. This frightened the children and they screamed, when the horse became frightened and dashed between a tree and a shed, dragging the negro boy with him and, and who held on manfully and was himself nearly killed. The buggy struck some obstacle and threw all the children out, little Anson Dodge being thrown against a tree and killed. Mr. Dodge’s adopted daughter and Mrs. Cantwell’s eldest daughter were both badly bruised and cut about the face, but are up and about now. The youngest child of Mrs. Cantwell’s was uninjured. The occurrence was one of those unfortunate incidents that can not well be provided against. Funeral service was read at Christ’s church by Rev. H.E. Lucas, assisted by Rev. D. Watson Winn yesterday evening.
