DEATH'S CALL: HOPE Charles who came to Canada in 1892 went
from Dorking to Manitoba for the harvest work. Mr Terry of Dorking
received the news that Charles broke his neck in a fall from a load of
hay and died immediately. His mother is in England. This is the 3rd
death in as many months, following as it does the passing of:
EDDINGTON James and ASHWORTH Charles.

On James's death record his last name is spelled "Addington". His occupation is listed as a farm laborer. He died from a fall off a wagon.

Published in the Ups and Downs August 1 1895 edition:
Just as we are about to go to press, sad news reaches us of James A Eddington, a boy full of promise, and held in high esteem and affection by his employer and family. It appears that James in company with another hired man, Alf Relf, also on of "our boys" was returning to the barn on top of a load of hay which from some cause became unbalanced, a portion falling off, carrying with it Relf and Eddington, the former landing safely on the ground, whilst Eddington fell on the tongue whence he attempted to stop the horses which were naturally startled. All might have been well had not the wagon struck and gone over a log throwing poor Eddington right in the way of the wheels which passed over his ribs, causing almost instant death. Upon receipt of the distressing news Mr.Griffiths immediately left for Cheltenham where James had been working in the employ of Mr. Wilkinson, from whom other witnesses Mr. Griffith gathered the particulars narrated above, and alos learned that both Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson regarded poor James Eddington as a "pattern for any lad to follow" well behaved, truthful, and a regular attendant at church and Sunday school. In the midst of the sorrow occasioned by the sudden cutting off of one so young to whom life was full of hope and brightness there is much comfort in the knowledge that James was leading a life on earth which would the better fit him for the life in the world to come, to which he was so unexpectedly called.
