JUNE 23, 1916 "FATAL ACCIDENT - FRED RIGHTMEIER KILLED! A fatal accident befell one of Jewell's honored citizens last Saturday morning. Our old friend went out to Sam ayers' farm to bring in a 1200 lb, 2-year old bull for Clyde Dyas. Oblinger's stock wagon being used for the trip. The bull walked into the wagon without any trouble. Mr Rightmeier mounted the seat and drove off. No body witnessed the accident but from Mr Rightmeier's own story it appears that when he was near the East Buffalo school house, the bull made a sudden forward lung which broke the front deeper. Then with another tremendous drive he struck the seat on which Mr rightmeier was riding and knocked him and the seat entirely clear of the wagon, Mr R fell in between the ponies and they ran away leaving him lying in the road. The Sanders and the Ayer boys heard the crash and Mr Rightmeier's cries to the horses in his effort to control them. They found Mr R lying in the road. He knew he was badly hurt and would not consent to being taken into any of the nearby houses. He wished to be brought home and he was placed in an auto and the request complied with. The horses were stopped at the Saunder's place and the bull when he found he was free, went back home. The doctor knew that Mr R was very seriously hurt. The shoulder was out of place, and his arm broken in a dozen places, and his internal injuries could not be accertained. Near morning he died. . . .
