Died on Eve of Wedding

John Clickinger, 59 years old, who had been lingering with a broken neck at the 
York hospital since Friday, Jan. 28th, died Feb. 2.  His death came almost on the 
eve of the date fixed for his wedding.  It was stated by relatives and friends 
that Mr. Clickinger, had he lived, would have been married shortly to a York 
woman.

Clickinger’s death obligates the W. A. Eberle Wheel works, where the man met 
with an accident that caused his death, to comply with the terms of the 
workmen’s compensation act, which went into effect Jan. 1, last.  The 
establishment is the first York concern to become liable for a death under the 
new law.  The Eberle company will have to pay the expense of the victim’s 
treatment at the York hospital and the funeral expenses, not exceeding $100.  As 
there are no dependent relatives of Clickinger, the firm is relieved from 
further compensation.
