Found Dead at Newtown

New York, 1895

Edward Weber, a German, living at Laurel Hill, was found dead in a pool of water not much more than two feet deep Monday afternoon. His face was downward and the flowing away of the water disclosed the back of his head. It is thought he fell off his wagon.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, Feb. 1, 1895, p. 12.
