During April 2020 the month of this #AtoZChallenge I will be sharing short posts on some of the 2,000+ descendants I have identified of my 3x Great-Grandmother, Elizabeth Phipps. 
So tragic!
ReplyDeleteI have an ancestor whose young son was killed when run over by a cart, then nearly 45 years later in a different country his young grandson was killed when run over by a biscuit firm wagon,
Dangerous things those carts and wagons!
One short story but so moving. I too have come across a number of reports of cart accidents- two fatal and one where Janet Scott, a young agricultural worker was disabled and had to go into the Poorhouse.
ReplyDeleteDianne and Sue, It was not only our modern cars that wreaked havoc on the roads.
