Serious Accident
Unidentified Newsclipping - 1901
The Rev. A. W. Decker met with a serious accident near Brockport, last Friday afternoon while driving to his new pastorate at Waterport. The horse, frightened by cattle, overturned the carriage, throwing Brother Decker into the ditch severely cutting his head and inflicting other injuries. He was taken to the office of a surgeon where it was found no bones were broken. This is a sad introduction to his new duties but we hope he will soon be able to resume active work.
