The Fulton County News. (McConnellsburg, Pa.): December 07, 1899 1899
A fatal hunting accident recently occurred near Dudley, Huntingdon county, John
Guyer, son of Wm. Guyer, of that place, being the victim. In company with his
brother Henry and a dog, the young men had started out hunting, and became
separated. Henry returned home early, but John not putting in an appearance, it was
apprehended he had met with an accident, and search was made for him that
evening. The next morning a number joined in the search, and about 8 o'clock his
dead body was found in the woods a short distance above Dudley, with his faithful
dog at his side. From indications at the spot it would seem that the dog had holed a
rabbit under a large rock, and the young man had endeavored to dig out the game, and
in moving about must have knocked his gun from the rock on which he had laid it
down, discharging the piece, and receiving the entire load in his body, being shot
through the stomach. Deceased was aged 16 years.
