New York, 1895
Charles Brooks Cutter, a member of the Mercury Wheel Club of Flushing, died Thursday night from typhoid fever contracted through drinking impure water at Rockaway Beach. On Sunday, June 9, Mr. Cutter and E. C. Wood, accompanied by a party of friends, went on a bicycle trip to the beach. The day was dry and dusty. The two cyclists drank much water, which other members of the party did not like the appearance of and refused to touch.
—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, July 5, 1895, p. 1.
