Coulson Jr. Both Mr. and Mrs. Watson were very severely injured. Fortunately willing hands were soon in attendance and they were conveyed to the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Coulson, where Dr. Buck was soon in attendance; but notwithstanding that he did everything that human skill could devise, Mrs. Watson gradually sank until 9 o'clock on Saturday evening, where she peacefully passed away. Her funeral took place from her late residence last Tuesday to Springer's Church burying ground. This was one of the largest funeral processions ever seen in Nelson, being nearly a mile and a half in length. Nearly one half of the people were unable to gain admission to the church, where Rev. Mr. Watson of Waterdown preached an eloquent and impressive sermon. Mr. Watson still lies in a very critical state, being injured internally. Mr. and Mrs. Coulson deserve the greatest praise for their kindness and willingness to do everything in their power to alleviate the sufferings of those who were thrown upon their hospitality. (Canadian Champion - 14 May 1885, p. 3, column 2)
