The Hanover Citizen Hanover, Pennsylvania Thursday, July 11, 1872 Accident - EHRHART - Emanuel EHRHART, living near Hametown, this county, met with a sad mishap. While returning from York on Wednesday of last week, when coming near the first toll gate on this side of York, the bridle dropped from his horse, and his horse, becoming frightened, ran against the fence upsetting the spring wagon and throwing Mr. Ehrhart to the ground, dislocating his shoulder, and otherwise injuring him. Dr. J. W. KERR, of York, rendered the surgical aid and at last account, he was doing well. - (Glen Rock Item) Burned to Death - WEHLER A truly distressing occurrence took place in Union Twp, Adams County, on Wednesday morning of last week. - Miss Mary WEHLER, age about 18, proceeded to wash some clothes but experienced some difficulty in starting the fire under the kettle. Failing thus in her first efforts to start the fire, she procured a can containing a quantity of oil, and commenced pouring the oil over the wood and coals, when the oil became ignited and exploded the can and scattered the burning fluid over the young lady's body, burning her in a most shocking manner. The unfortunate girl, thus alone, at once realized her position, and all endeavors to outen the fire failing, she ran to a stream of water about twenty yards distant, and threw herself into the water where she lay until assistance arrived. After she was removed to her home, she remained in an unconscious condition till the following morning when death ensued. Her remains were interred in the grave yard at Christ Church on Friday morning, followed by a large concourse of relatives and friends. ___________________________________________ -----------------------Thursday, July 25, 1872------------ Marriages - Jacob A.
