Read More	FATAL INJURY Mrs. Urias Mailman, 54, Expires as Daughter Frantically Calls for help from Father and Son New Germany, April 17- With her skull punctured by the point of a small stone, onto which she had fallen from a barn door, Mrs. Amanda Mailman, wife of Urias Mailman, a farmer, at Hemford, seven miles west of this place, walked 25 yards to the family residence, and expired on a couch, while her husband and young son, failing to understand the cries of her daughter, hesitated to respond to the girl's call for help. The fatality occurred about four o'clock this afternoon. Mrs. Mailman and her eleven year old daughter, Velma, were engaged in getting the Mailman flock of sheep into the barn, at the time. The little girl was driving the sheep, and the mother was standing on the sill of the barn door, holding the door open, when she fell to the ground, a distance of three feet, striking her head on a stone. The little girl does not know what caused her mother to fall and as there is no apparent cause for her slipping from the place where she was standing, it is assumed that she fainted. While lying on the ground, the injured woman told her daughter that she was dying, then got up and walked into the house, while the girl ran towards Mr. Mailman and the son, Loran, who were repairing a fence a short distance away, shouting to them to come to the aid of her mother. They, however, thought the girl was shouting at the sheep, and paid little attention to her cries until she went close to them. Mr. Mailman, when he realized the import of the girl's cries, rushed to the house, where he found his wife lying unconscious on a couch. He promptly called Dr. F.S. Young, of New Germany, who reached the Mailman home within fifteen minutes, only to find that Mrs. Mailman had expired ten or fifteen minutes before he arrived. Examination of the wound revealed the fact that the skull had been fractured at the base and that a point of the stone had penetrated the woman's brain. Coroner Dr. Cole, of New Germany, was advised of the tragic occurence. He decided that death was accidental, and that no inquest was necessary. The late Mrs. Mailman, whose maiden name was Tompkins, was 54 years of age. She is survived, besides her husband and the two children already mentioned, by three sons and a daughter. They are: Calvin Mailman of Lunenburg; and Berlin Mailman of Bridgewater, both employees of the C.N.R.; and Armand Mailman of Simpson's Corner, employed by the C.N.R. Telegraph Company; Mrs. Cecil Lohnes, Hemford. Three sisters and a brother also survive. They are Mrs. Stephen Tompkins, Farmington; Mrs. Nimrod Wile, Hemford, and Mrs. Ephraim Tompkins, Bridgewater. Mrs. Mailman was a member of the Lutheran Church. The funeral was held at the family home, and interment at Hemford. With thanks to Rosemary Rafuse.
