We are pined to hear of an accident in Jefferson county,
Sunday evening last, by which three person lost their lives. Mr. Ed. W. Culbertson, son of Col. Culbertson
of Fairfield, Miss Maggie Nesbitt and Miss Hannier, in a carriage, while
attempting to cross Cedar Creek, Sunday Evening, at 5 o’clock, were all
drowned. Young Mr. Culbertson could
easily have saved his own life, but he undertook to rescue the young ladies and
was drowned with them. A large number of
the citizens of Fairfield and Jefferson county were out yesterday and succeeded
in finding the bodies. – Hawk-eye,
20th.
