Lewis, Mrs. Joseph - 1889

A Runaway Accident

A perhaps fatal accident occurred at St. Vincent’s church, near Latrobe, last Sunday.  A horse driven by two young men from Latrobe took fright and ran away, colliding with Geo. Ott’s carriage, in which were himself and family and Mrs. Joseph Lewis, tearing a wheel off each vehicle, and throwing the occupants out.  All were more or less injured.  Mrs. Lewis’ injuries will probably prove fatal.
