Mahoning Dispatch, Fri, 8 Feb 1878
Transcribed by Jennifer Neff, 8 June 2005
Mr. Craver, an old and respected citizen of Austintown, fell dead at Mineral 
Ridge on Thursday last, at the town line.  He went after a load of coal with a 
two horse sled, and drove up to Tod & Well’s shaft.  He left his team and went 
up to the shutes to find someone to get the coal from.  The horses took fright 
at the dumping of a car and ran along the town line, with a boy four years old 
in the sled.  Near the Baptist Church the horses ran against the fence and 
broke away from the sled, the boy still in it.  The horses were caught at 
Levitt’s store.  Mr. Craver started in pursuit of his team accompanied by a 
man named Jno. Joseph.  Craver ran a few rods when he said he could go no 
further, and he caught hold of the fence.  Joseph went on about a rod, then 
turned and saw Craver fall, he went back and found life extinct.  Mr. Craver, 
it is said was troubled with heart disease.  The remains were taken home 
immediately.  The deceased was an Odd Fellow, and respected by all who knew 
him.  He died a few rods from where Miles was shot a few weeks since.
