Woodstock was deeply affected by the news received here Friday last that Henry PARKER, Woodstock had met his death in the C.P.R. yard at Fredericton. He was running the shunting engine and was backing it up to couple on a car. The man who should have done the coupling had not put in an appearance and Mr. Parker, after giving his locomotive a start toward the car, closed the valve, got out and ran toward the car to wait for the locomotive when he would perform the coupling. In the act of doing this he was caught just at his stomach, between the locomotive and the car and badly crushed. Blood spurted from his nose and ears. He lived only a few hours. On Saturday his body was brought to his home at Woodstock for interment. The funeral took place Sunday 2 o'clock. Rev. J. Bleakney and Rev. A.F. Baker conducted the service at the house. On the casket were laid a wreath from the K. of P. and one from the B. of L., as well as the deceased's helmet and sword of the K. of P. order. The pall bearers were Dr. KIERSTEAD, George BRITTON, John ARNOLD and Adolphus DARRAH.
