A sad accident occurred Sunday evening about six o'clock, three miles west of the city, and as a result, Mrs. William Rinehart is dead. Mr. and Mrs. Rinehart were on their way to attend the Beery church, driving a pair of spirited horses hitched to a surry, Mr. Rinehart being seated in front and Mrs. Rinehart in the rear seat. The horses became unmanageable and started to run and Mr. Rinehart used all his power to check them. Mrs. Rinehart was very much frightened, and it is supposed, jumped out. Her husband's attention was entirely occupied in handling the horses and after they had run quite a little distance he stopped them and was surprised to find that his wife was not in the rig. He drove back and just in front of the home of Chris Beery found her lying near the middle of the road and unconscious. He called for help and the injured lady was carried into the Beery home, where she died in a very few minutes. Her face was badly bruised and was bleeding but no bones were broken and is believed that death was due to the bursting of a blood vessel near the heart. She was a very large woman and the fright and concussion He called for help and the injured lady was carried into the Beery home, where she died in a very few minutes. Her face was badly bruised and was bleeding but no bones were broken and is believed that death was due to the bursting of a blood vessel near the heart. She was a very large woman and the fright and concussion caused by the terrible fall she received no doubt caused her death. Mrs. Rinehart was fifty years old and was one of the best known ladies in northern Adams county, being the eldest daughter of Daniel Weldy. She has lived in the county all her life and was a kind, Christian lady, beloved by all who knew her. Her sad death was a great shock to her many relatives and friends. Besides the aged father and her devoted husband, there remains five children: Mrs. Elmira Mallonee, Mrs. Bertha Sheets, Mrs. Jessie Moore, Mrs. Effie Elzey and Miss Vera Rinehart; two step-sons, Chauncey and Charles Rinehart; two brothers, William and Chris Weldy and three sisters, Mrs. Noah Mangold, Mrs. Arthur Fisher and Mrs. Dayton Gault. Her remains were taken home soon after her death, and the funeral services were held Tuesday morning at ten o'clock from the Beery church.
