William Freeman |
Lock keeper |
Drowned this day (see
below). His funeral expenses were paid and Elizabeth Freeman, sister,
was allowed a gratuity of £15 |
NA Rail 845/23 |
|
At the
inquest no evidence proving how it occurred but the supposition
is that he was pushing the upper gates to with his hitcher after
an upward barge had passed in order to draw off the still
according to the rules and that the hitcher slipped off the gate
and he was pitched into the lock striking his temple on the gate
and stunning him. He was a most steady and trustworthy man and I
think the most attentive to his duties of any lock keeper on the
river. He had been in our employ some 4 years or more - he
leaves no family being unmarried, but an elder sister lived with
him and was entirely dependant on him for support and any
assistance you would be pleased to grant her would be most
gratefully received. (J Child) |
