WILT - SHOCKING DEATH AT LEAMERSVILLE - A shocking accident occured at Leamersville, this county, on Saturday morning, by which a young man, Daniel Wilt, 23 or 24 years of age was almost instantly killed. From several reports of this occurance that have come to hand the following particulars are gleaned. The young man was a son of David Wilt, and resided with his father near Hileman's mill, in Blair township. One account says that he was on the eve of departure on a duck shooting expedition, and another that he was returning home. Be this as it may, he was in a blacksmith shop of a Mr. Ruggles, at Leamersville. The ramrod of his gun, which was loaded, did not fit in the groove of the barrel, and he was trimming it down or whittling at it to make it the required size. He was standing with one foot upon the anvil block, and from the manner in which the accident happened must have had both gun and ramrod in his hands at once, the end of the barrel in close proximity to his head, for when his foot slipped from the anvil block it fell upon the hammer of the gun, forcing it back, when it was snapped, the load discharged, and the whole charge of shot entered his head at the right temple tearing a hole from which the brains oozed. Dr. D.S. Hays, who was passing the shop at the time, was called in, but the unfortunate young man soon after expired. Wed. 9 April 1879 issue. M.S.
