1918 - Killed at Home Rule - THROWN FROM A WHEAT LOAD.
A very sad fatality occurred at Home Rule on Saturday last, the unfortunate victim being Mr. Henry Allen, an old and esteemed resident of Home Rule, aged 61.
The deceased was a farmer, and was also in partnership with Mr. J. H. Garland (trading as Garland and Co., storekeepers, Home Rule) and had lived at Home Rule for a great number of years.
The late Mr. Allen was born at Christchurch (N.Z.), and was a son of the late Mr. Thomas Allen.
The details concerning his death are as follows:—
On Saturday he had just unloaded a load of wheat from a lorry to which two horses were attached. The wheat was unloaded at his store, and had been brought from his farm about 200 yards away. Something apparently frightened the horses, and they started to bolt for home. The deceased jumped on to the lorry with the object of catching hold of the reins and pulling up the horses. But he did not succeed in this, and the horses bolted all the harder. Probably thinking it would be safer off the lorry, he jumped off the vehicle, but was thrown against a telephone post, which fractured his skull and caused instant death. Dr. Lee was immediately telephoned for from Gulgong. He arrived quickly on the scene, and pronounced life extinct.
The news was received in Home Rule, Gulgong, and adjoining districts with great sorrow, as the deceased was greatly esteemed and respected. The funeral (which was one of the largest ever held in the district) took place yesterday, the mortal remains being conveyed to Gulgong, and interred in the Church of England portion of the Gulgong cemetery, the Rev. C. J. Allen officiating.
An inquiry will be held in Gulgong on January 10.
The deceased's brother, Thomas, was several years ago killed in a mining accident at Home Rule. The following are brothers of the deceased: Walter (Home Rule), John (Gulgong). The following sisters also
survive: Mrs. Thomas Raisin (Home Rule), Mrs. E. James (Home Rule), Mrs. J. Sharrock (Home Rule), Mrs. J. Hobbins (Lismore), Mrs. C. Northcote (Temora) and Mrs. Leslie Webb (Leeton). The deceased is also survived by a sorrowing widow and the following children: James, Henry and Sydney (all of Home Rule), and Private Wilfred (on active service). Private William Allen is a nephew of deceased, and a son of the late Thomas Allen.
The ''Guardian" sincerely sympathises with the relatives in their very sad bereavement.
