Fremont Journal (Fremont, Sandusky Co, OH), 24 Dec 1858. vol. VI no. 48
p. 3, col. 2

On Saturday, the 18th inst., at 6 o'clock in the morning,
of injuries received in falling from the roof of a building, at 3-1/2 o'clock in
the afternoon of the 16th, ALBERT H. HAFFORD, son of James H. Hafford, aged 20
years.

This said occurrence had thrown a pall over the minds of the young associates
of Albert, has caused the older part of our citizens to shudder over the fate
of one so young, and whose future was so promising; and has fallen like a
thunderbolt upon the hearts of a doting father and a numerous circle of
relatives and intimate friends. God alone can comfort them now. "Cast thy
burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain thee."

On Thursday afternoon, 16th, about 3-1/2 o'clock, ALBERT accompanied a fellow
workman to render assistance in repairing a tin eave-trough on the north side
of Mr. Nims' block. He threw open the scuttle, went upon the roof, which was
very steep, and the slate was covered with frost, and the first step he took,
he slid (... INDISTINGUISHABLE, AT CREASE...) had become so rapid that he could
not hold to the (...) on which he caught; his hands gave way, and he fell forty
feet to the solid ground below. He struck upon his right knee and left foot
and pitched forward upon his face. The right leg midway between the knee and
hip was broken, the bone penetrating through the flesh on the outside of the leg
and through his pants into the ground two inches. His face and nose were
considerably bruised. The left leg was uninjured. Drs. Rawson, St. Clair,
Wilson & Stilwell were called and the leg set. No other bones were broken, and
the surgeons thought there were no internal injuries. He said he was not hurt
in any other place than his leg. His pain was very great, though he continued
sensible and talked with all who called in, until a few hours before his death,
when he became delirious. At about 6 o'clock on Saturday morning, some
thirty-eight hours after the fall, death released him from his sufferings.

His funeral was attended at the Presbyterian Church, on Saturday afternoon, by
several hundred sympathizing citizens, who felt almost as if their own
household had been made desolate, and their grief was deep and real. The Fire
Department, of which he was an active member, were all out and took charge of
the funeral. With sad and heavy hearts they bore their comrade to his last
resting place, their falling tears testifying to the sincerity of their sorrow,
and there they laid him down beside his mother, to sleep till the 'alarm' of
Jehovah shall summon all men into his presence.
