From The Cork Examiner, 21 October 1878 - FATAL ACCIDENT. A sad accident occurred this morning at Trough Castle, County Clare, by which a farmer named Bernard, lost his life. It would appear that this morning before daylight made its appearance Bernard left his house for the purpose of bringing a load of corn to Limerick for sale. He had hold of the horse by the bridle, and as he was passing Trough Castle the horse shied at something on the road and dashed off at great speed. Bernard was struck on the neck by the shaft of the car, and he was knocked under one of the wheels which rolled over him, crushing his body so terribly that he died in a few minutes. The deceased was, we are informed, brother to the young man who fell off a load of turf some months since, and was killed. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
