PORT
DOVER
As we write these items
the sad intelligence comes in that Mr. R. S. Fleming, a highly
respected resident of this village for many years, had been killed
this afternoon at a barn raising at the farm of his son-in-law
Lloyd Chrysler, through a beam prop giving way and allowing the beam to fall on him with such force that he expired before he
could be carried to the house after being extricated from the
fallen timbers.
Deceased was an adherent
of the Methodist Church and had for many years been a member of
the local Board of Education.
To regret his untimely
decease there are left his wife, three daughters and two sons, to
whom the sympathy of the whole community goes out in their hour of
sorrow.
