• Notes

  A Good Man Dead It will be remembered that while attempting to stop a runaway four-horse team on the West side, near the Great Falls and Canada depot, Friday morning, Martin Stafford, through not fault of his own, was knocked down and struck by the wagon, which inflicted injuries that caused his death at 8 o'clock a.m. Monday. Mr. Stafford was about 30 years of age and had lived in Great Falls for years. He was a carpenter by trade and a loyal union man. He was ever true to the community in which he lived and, at a time when the clouds of financial distress hung most ominously over Great Falls, he was true to his home and made many investments in Great Falls. He leaves a wife heart broken in her sudden grief, four children, the eldest not above 10 years of age, and a brother, Charles, in this city, and another brother now enroute from Leadville, to whom is extended the heartfelt sympathy of the community in their great bereavement. The Weekly Tribune, Great Falls, MT, 26 Oct 1894 Died: Died while attempting to stop a runaway 4-horse team.
