The Fulton County news. (McConnellsburg, Pa.): November 30, 1899
Accidental Drowning of John Hurley Near Newville.
Carlisle, Pa., (Special.) The body of John Hurley, a young man aged twenty-six
residing near Newville, was found floating in the Big Spring. The body had been in
water seventeen days and presented a ghastly appearance. It was greatly discolored
and swollen. The finger tips were eaten off by the fishes in the stream. The young
man was a mason by occupation.
After he quit work he started for his home about two miles away, when it was raining
very bard. There is a steep clay bank about the stream, where he is supposed to have
fallen in. This was evidently slippery from the rain, and in the darkness he must
have made a misstep, precipitating him into the water.
