Serious Accident.
Mrs. H.A. COY, of Grasshopper, daughter of Jos. EVANS, of this place, met with a
terrible accident on Tuesday morning last. She was out driving with her little
daughter and another lady, and had started to cross the bridge at Miller's mill,
when, seeing another team approaching, she tried to draw aside to give it room,
when her horse backed and fell over the bridge, or over one of the abutments,
down about fifteen feet. The horse was instantly killed, and Mrs. Coy was so
badly injured that it was feared she would not live. She was insensible when
picked up, but seemed to be improving at last accounts, and we hope that she may
recover. She is a most estimable lady, and her death would be a sad loss to her
family and her numerous friends. The other lady was not hurt, and the little
girl but slightly so.
