Adams, Berkshire, Massachusetts: 1816 Peter Worden: At Adams, in the 80th year of his age, Mr Peter Worden, formerly elder of the baptist church in Coventry, in this state, from whence he removed, with great part his people, about the year 1764 or 65, into the county of Berkshire, then an uncultivated country, where he resided until his death. The memory of this amiable and truly pious man will be long cherished by an extensive acquaintance. |
Barnsley Chronicle Date : 23rd July 1878 An inquest was held at the Beckett Hospital and Dispensary on Tuesday, on the body of John Beeby, a man employed at J. Nall's, builder, Summer Lane, who met with his death on Monday week, through the effect of some burns caused by shavings catching fire to his legs. - Charlotte Jessop said she was the wife of John Jessop, Joiner, of Doncaster Road. Deceased did not live with witness. Deceased was a little infirm. He went regularly to work. Witness saw him on the Sunday before deceased was hurt. Deceased stayed to tea, and appeared to be all right then. Witness next saw him on the following Tuesday at the dispensary. Deceased was then quite sensible. Deceased appeared to be suffering from burns on the leg. Deceased said he was putting some shavings in the fire-hole when the draught blew the fire which caught his trousers. Deceased told witness he had attempted to put it out - Jabez Nall a builder, of Barnsley, said deceased had worked for him about two years, as stoker. Witness saw deceased on the afternoon of the day the accident occurred. The accident had then taken place. Witness saw his brother running out of the yard, and witness followed him. Witness saw a few shavings outside the fire-place. Deceased had been told not to burn the long shavings; only the short ones. The shavings were long ones. Witness saw deceased standing up about two yards from the firing place, and he heard deceased cry out "Oh dear" or something to that effect. Deceased had been told to inform witness's brother when any long shavings were to burn, as they did not think deceased was capable of burning them. The firing place was about 8ft by 7ft, and they had to get up a ladder out of the place. Deceased had never made any complaints about the draught. Deceased was quite sober at the time. As soon as witness saw deceased, and heard him cry he tried to put the fire out with his hands, and failing to do that, witness took off his coat and put it round deceased to try to smother the fire. When they got the fire out some of the men took deceased in a dog cart to the Dispensary. At that time witness did not think there was anything serious. Witness's brother on returning at once turned a water tap on the shavings and put them out, which might have been done by the deceased had he had presence of mind. - Wm Jessop, grandson of the deceased, said he was employed at the mill when the accident occurred. He was in the habit of taking the shavings to the firing place. He generally threw the shavings down by the fire. Witness heard a cry after leaving the firing place and on returning found that deceased had caught fire. Witness told deceased to put the fire out with the water pipe and in going to the water deceased fell. - Wm. Hy. Smith, house surgeon, said the deceased suffered from extensive burns on both legs, which, in his opinion, caused death. - The Foreman thought it would be better if the shavings could be consumed in the yard, as that limited space in the firehouse made it dangerous to anyone who was not very active. The jury returned the verdict of "Accidental Death." |
Wigan Observer and district Advertiser - 3rd June 1885 Man Found Drowned at Standish On Monday at Noon, an old man named Peter Worthington, of High Street Standish was found drowned in the Broomfield reservoir in that township. He had been in the village shortly before and how he got into the reservoir is a mystery in as much as it is fenced round. Deceased formerly was in the employ of the Wigan Coal & Iron Co. as a contractor, but recently he has been out of work and has been living with a married daughter. Though he has been somewhat depressed in spirit for a considerable period, it was not anticipated that he would endanger his life and accordingly he has been allowed to go abroad at pleasure. The information of the finding of the body caused considerable commotion amongst the inhabitants, and as it was born home, the bells of Standish Church were ringing a merry peel in honour of the visit of the Bishop of Manchester who had just concluded a confirmation in the sacred edifice. |
Sheffield Daily Telegraph ; 26th December 1885 John Harrison: On Christmas Eve a sad and fatal accident occurred to Mr. John Harrison, the secretary and manager of the Boythorpe Colliery Company Limited, Chesterfield. The deceased gentleman was only appointed to the post about three months ago, in succession to Mr. G.J. Wood, who left to take up residence in London. It appears that the Boythorpe Colliery Company have at their works two shafts - one for the Blackshale seam and the other for Tupton seam. They are from 200 to 300 yards apart and are connected on the surface by two lines of railway, which cross on a level the main road from Chesterfield to Matlock. For hauling about the waggons a small locomotive owned by the company is used, and on Thursday evening this locomotive was at the Tupton Pit about 6.15, just as Mr. Harrison was proceeding to his residence at Whitecoates, only a very short distance beyond the level crossing. A clerk with whom he was conversing drew Mr. Harrison's attention to the engine, and told him to be careful, and the deceased replied that he could see it. He walked on, and just as he was passing over the crossing, the engine, which he apparently, on account of the fog prevailing, not observed being put into motion, came up suddenly, and struck him. He was knocked down and his left arm was completely severed from his body. Assistance was immediately at hand, but he had expired before he could be removed. Dr. Macdougall was sent for, but life had been extinct some time before his arrival. The body was first conveyed to the company's office, and subsequently, when the news had been broken to Mrs. Harrison, was taken home. The deceased gentleman, who was 42 years of age, leaves a widow and seven children. In his pockets, after his death, were found some Christmas toys, which he was carrying home for them. He was widely known and respected, having formerly held the post of circuit steward for the Tibshelf Wesleyan Circuit, and having for many years been an acceptable local preacher in connection with that body. |
SHEFFIELD DAILY TELEGRAPH - 28th DECEMBER 1885 Harrison - Dec.24. Mr J. Harrison of Whitecoates, Chesterfield, aged 41. The internment will take place at Chesterfield Cemetery on Tuesday, the 29th, at 3.30. Friends please accept this invitation. |
THE DERBYSHIRE TIMES - Saturday January 2nd 1886 page 3. SHOCKING FATAL ACCIDENT TO A COLLIERY MANAGER On Christmas Eve a shocking accident occurred at Boythorpe, near Chesterfield, to Mr. John Harrison, manager of the Chesterfield and Boythorpe Colliery Company Limited, which Mr. Harrison was almost instantly killed, leaving a widow and seven small children to bewail their loss. It appears Mr. Harrison had been in Chesterfield with his wife making purchases, and about 4.30 o'clock he sent his wife and some children home in a cab and followed on foot shortly afterwards. He was accompanied part of the way by a friend who parted with him near a level crossing of the Boythorpe Colliery Line. His friend noticed that the engine had steam up, and cautioned Mr. Harrison to mind how he crossed the line, to which Mr. Harrison replied that he knew the place well. The next thing known was that a man named Bridgett observed the train pass, and immediately afterwards saw Mr. Harrison lying on the ground. He ran to him and found one arm (the left) torn from his body, and it was evident he had sustained other tearful injuries. Bridgett removed the dying man a short distance from the rails, and then ran for aid. He returned in a few moments with some other men, but Mr. Harrison expired almost instantly. The scene of the accident is only a few yards from Mr. Harrison's residence, where his wife and children were awaiting his return. The intelligence spread gloom over Chesterfield on Christmas Day. |
THE DERBYSHIRE TIMES - Saturday January 2nd 1886 - page 3 NOTES BY THE WAY: Derbyshire sayings and doings The terrible accident to Mr. Harrison at Boythorpe on Christmas Eve, recalls to my memory the fact that when our present Mayor was giving evidence on behalf of the Chesterfield Borough Extension Bill, he was sneeringly asked by the counsel for the opposition what good the council could have done more than the outlying authorities had done. Mr. Wood replied, inter alia, that the Corporation would have objected to the level crossings in Boythorpe Lane. It is a pity no one did object. Level crossings mean certain death to some one sooner or later. I believe the crossing at Sheepbridge caused half a dozen deaths before it was replaced by a bridge, and in my view they ought to be prohibited. They are usually unprofitable even to the railway or colliery company, as the wages of the men employed as watchmen total up to the value of a bridge in about ten years. It is to be hoped that the Boythorpe Colliery Co. will take immediate steps to obviate a second catastrophe like poor Mr. Harrison's cruel death. The deepest sympathy is felt for his widow and family, and I think it would take a tangible form if the friends of the family think it desirable. |
THE DERBYSHIRE TIMES - Saturday January 2nd 1886 page 5. FUNERAL OF MR. JOHN HARRISON On Tuesday afternoon the mortal remains of Mr. John Harrison, the manager of the Boythorpe Colliery, who was killed close to his home on Christmas Eve, were interred in the Chesterfield Cemetery amidst many signs of deep respect and regret. The principal mourners were the deceased's widow and several of the elder children, deceased's father and two brothers-in-law. The principal officials of the colliery also followed the body to its last resting place, and at West Bars the stewards and minister of the Wesleyan Chapel joined the mournful cortege. We are requested to state that Mr. Powell Williams, MP for South Birmingham, the chairman of the Company, was prevented from being present owing to the hour at which the internment took place. The funeral was supplied by Mr. Clayton Slack, of Lordsmill Street and Mr. F. Glossop, of St. Mary's Gate, Chesterfield. For a full report of the inquest see page 3. |
The Mossley and Saddleworth Reporter: Saturday June 16th, 1888 28 January, 2012 America. Intelligence has been received during the week of the sad death by drowning, of Benjamin Silverwood, son of Mr Charles Silverwood, of the Green,
Roughtown. Benjamin Silverwood, who was 33 years of age, had been in America for six years. He resided with his wife at Morton Street, Mechanicsville,
Fall River. Wednesday, May 30th, was Memorial Day, an anniversary set apart for the decoration of the graves of those who fell in the civil war, and a
day generally observed in America, by picnics, social parties, etc., On that day Mr and Mrs Benjamin Silverwood went across the river to what is called a
clam bake, and in the evening were returning home in company with John Emmet and Shaw Oldham, two other Mossley men, and three other men named Thomas
Banks, Thomas Miller and John Miller, most of whom had their wives with them. When they got to the river it was decided that the men should cross in
one boat and the women in another. The men started first, and had not gone more than 50 yards when two men shifted from one side of the boat to the
other, causing it to capsize. There are several versions as to why the men moved, one being that the boat began to leak. However that may be,
Silverwood, who was at the tiller ropes, was drowned, along with Thomas Banks and Thomas Miller. Mrs Silverwood saw the accident from the bank, and
fainted away. One version of the drowning is that Silverwood sank immediately, and was never seen again, while another is that he clung to the
boat until he could hold on no longer, and then sank. The bodies of the three men were not recovered until the morning following. |

Sydney Morning Herald, Monday, 26th February 1912; Page 9 A DOCTOR DROWNED.
At about 2.30 yesterday afternoon Dr. W. B. Silverwood, 49, of Cangai, lost his life in the surf at Manly Beach. The deceased gentleman had arrived from the north only that day, and had taken rooms at the Central Coffee Palace. n company with a companion, Mr. Hatfield, he went to Manly, and entered the water shortly after lunch. Mr. Jack Reynolds, one of the Manly Life Saving Club, soon saw that Mr. Hatfield was in difficulties, and at once swam out to his aid. By the time he reached him Mr. Hatfield had managed to get into quiet water and was coming ashore. Mr. Reynolds then turned back, not having seen Dr. Silverwood, but his attention was called by some onlookers, and he at once re-entered the water, this time accompanied by Messrs. Belvin and Falls with the life line. Reynolds at last reached the body of the doctor, which was now lying face downwards on the sandy bottom nearly two hundred yards from shore. With the aid of the life-line the body was brought ashore, but not before the three rescuers had suffered severely at the hands of the crowd, who foolishly rushed the life-line and dragged them ashore. All three were in the last stages of exhaustion when they reached the beach. For two and a half hours Drs. Rogers, O'Hara, and Bennett, who were on hand, endeavored to restore animation, but were unable to do so. Dr. Rogers pronounced life extinct, and gave it as his opinion that death was due to heart failure while in the water. |

Barnsley Chronicle Date : 25th November 1916 Five Sons in the Army Private Wm. Jessop, 10th Northumberland Fusiliers whose home is at Craigs Court, Old Mill, has been awarded a Bar to his Military Medal which he won in the earlier days of the advance. Interviewed on Monday by a "Barnsley Chronicle" representative directly after his arrival from France, Pte Jessop proved to be a very modest hero and it was somewhat difficult matter to extract details of his achievement. The military Medal was awarded to him for bringing in wounded and a repetition of this on the night of August 30-31st gained him the bar. This occurred during a bombing raid on the German trenches. After going over the top for the second time, Pte. Jessop, together with two other men who were also awarded the Military Medal, heroically brought he wounded man back to the lines. Pte. Jessop has taken part in the battle of the Somme and says that he never thought he would come through it. Whilst in France he met his uncle Pt E Willcock's whose photo has appeared in the "Chronicle" and who is also a military medallist. Pte. Jessop enlisted in December 1914, and has seen 16 months service in France. His mother, who is a widow, has four other sons serving, one of whom has been missing for about 2 years. Her father was an old Volunteer. Private Jessop expects to return to the front on the 29th Inst. |
Barnsley Chronicle Date : 25th November 1916 "One of the Very Best" Officer's Tribute to Barnsley Man Yesterday, we were informed of the death in action of Private William Reader, 1/6th Black Watch Regiment, whose wife and three children reside at 7, Crookes Street, Barnsley. The deceased soldier enlisted in June 1915 and has been in France since July last. He was 34 years of age. Second-Lieut. J.J. Watt writing to Mrs Reader says: "It is with the deepest regret that I write to tell you that your husband was killed on the 14th November. He was in my platoon and was one of the best – the very best – fellows I had and was very popular and cheery, making himself liked wherever he went. Our Battalion attacked the German trenches in the early morning of the 13th inst.; the attack was completely successful and we gained our objective. There is one small consolation in knowing that your husband did not suffer any pain, and was laid to rest in a soldier´s grave inside our own lines by our own fellows. He has done his duty bravely fighting for his King and Country. I beg to offer you from all in the platoon and on my own behalf our deepest sympathy in your great bereavement." Before the war, Private Reader worked at Messrs. Dobson and Nall´s Glassworks. |

Writing later he says "After going over the top I gota shakeup and was buried a time or too. I don't know where my Battalion is now, there are not many of us left." |

Wisconsin State Journal : 2003 Irene Silverwood Woman's Love Of Teaching Will Live On In Donated Working Farm. EDGERTON -- Irene Silverwood, who donated a 300-acre working farm to Dane County for a park, died Monday at the age of 84. "She was an incredible mentor and personal hero for me," Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk said. "What was really unique about her vision was she wanted that farm to forever be a working farm so that park will be a working farm park." Silverwood donated the 300 acres of farmland, woods and Rice Lake waterfront property to the county in 2001 but the retired Edgerton High School business teacher continued to live on the land. "Education is my life, and I want this land to be used for education, "Silverwood said in 2001. "Many people want to buy it. But being a farm girl and such, I wanted to keep it the way it is." Silverwood County Park in the town of Albion, in far southeastern Dane County, will continue to be run as a modern farm and can be used to showcase the latest farm technology and give ideas to area farmers, Falk said. "This is a real rare thing," Falk said. "Given the rapid growth, time is of the essence to take steps to preserve the farms that we have.... It's exactly like (Silverwood) to be pushing the envelope to do things better." Silverwood's husband, Russell, served on the Dane County Board from 1949 to 1963 and the couple, who had no children, discussed donating the land long before he died in 1988. A Busseyville native, Silverwood taught business education at Edgerton High School for 43 years. She retired in 1984. "She was a very good commercial arts teacher and very sociable with faculty as well as kids," said former Edgerton Schools Superintendent Ken Williams. Even after she retired, Silverwood stayed involved with the high school serving as a senior class adviser. Becky Fjelstad's daughter, Elizabeth, graduated Edgerton High School last year. "She gave every person in that class a silver dollar," Fjelstad said. "She just did neat little things like that. She always had a heart for kids." Visitation will be held today from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Albrecht Funeral Home, 1004 S. Main St., Edgerton. Silverwood's funeral is 11 a.m. Friday at the Busseyville Community Church. |
