Accident Results in Death.
"Joel Walters, a prosperous resident of Hooper, died Sunday afternoon at the family residence. His death was due to an accident which occurred late Saturday afternoon, while he and his son Frank were driving home from Ogden. The team shied at an object in the road and the sudden jerk of the buggy threw Mr. Walters to the ground. The boy stopped the horses as quickly as he could and, returning to where his father lay, lifted him into the buggy and drove homeward. The injuries were not thought to be serious but a doctor was immediately called.
An examination revealed the fact that Mr. Walter's head and spine were badly injured. Every possible effort was made to save the man's life, but proved unavailing and he passed away at 3:15 p.m. Sunday.
The body was taken to Lindquist mortuary to be prepared for shipment to Rock Springs, Wyoming, where the funeral will be held."—Ogden Standard.
