BIDDLE - FATAL ACCIDENT - On Monday the 21st ult., Charles Bittle an 
old and respected citizen of Woodbury township, met with a sad 
accident. Whilst driving his four horse team, with a large wagon, 
partly laden, his horses frightened and run off, and in attempting to 
stop them, he caught one of the horses, and became entangled in the 
lines, and was thrown on the ground under the horse and trampled, his 
leg broken in two places, when the wagon ran over his body bruising it. 
He was taken to his home, where he suffered greatly until the next day, 
when death came to his relief. On Wednesday his remains were interred 
in the Presbyterian graveyard at Williamsburg. Mr. Biddle was a good 
citizen, a kind and affectionate husband and father, and leaves a widow 
and several children to mourn his loss. Peace to his memory!
