Penfield Press, 2 Jan 1903
A Hunting Accident

Jake Gifford of this place was instantly killed while hunting on Friday 
last.  It seems that he was leaning on the muzzle of a combined rifle and 
shotgun and kicking his feet around to keep them warm and in some manner 
struck the hammers of the gun exploding both barrels, the contents of which 
entered the side of his face and neck making a horrible wound and killing 
him instantly.

Mr. Gifford was an employee of the Penfield Coal Company, a good worker and 
well liked by his employers and fellow workmen.

The remains were taken to DuBois for interment.
