HANDSWORTH CHRONICLE -= November 30th 1889
Mr. E Hopper (coroner) held an
inquest at the Hare and Hounds, Holly Lane, Perry Barr on Saturday relative
to the death of Elizabeth Richards (60) of 22 Hawkes Lane, West Bromwich who
was found dead in a watercress stream on the Warren Farm, Holly Lane on
Thursday. Deceased was the wife of
the West Bromwich Sanitary Inspector and was last seen alive by her friends
on Wednesday morning when she left home at 10.15 with the intention of going
to visit her daughter at Hill Top.
Nothing further was seen or heard of her until nine 0’clock the same
night, when she was met by a woman named Rhodes in the holly lane, which is
about five or six miles from Wet Bromwich.
Deceased was just clambering out of a ditch close to Mrs Rhodes’ house
and said she was going to Hill Top.
Three hours later a man named Parker found deceased in another ditch
further along the lane. He helped her
to get out, and at first thought she was under the influence of drink, but
afterwards discovered that she was perfectly sober. When asked what brought her there, deceased replied first that
she was going to Hill Top, but afterwards said she had come from that place
and subsequently she made several rambling statements. She did not say who she was and as Parkes,
could get nothing clear from her he left her there. He started home, but changed his mind and turned back to the
place where he left her, but without finding any trace of her. A farm bailiff named Wells deposed to
finding deceased in the watercress stream on Thursday morning. She would have to walk along a private
path to get there, and Police-constable Miller, who was fetched by Wells,
said that when he arrived he found deceased lying upon her face in about
three inches of water, with her hands firmly stuck in the mud, out of which
he had some difficulty in getter her.
There were footmarks around the sop, as though deceased had tried to
retrace her steps. From the evidence
of a son of deceased, it appeared that she was a woman of extremely temperate
habits. The night in question was
very dark, and no reason could be assigned for her being in that locality,
which is quite out of the way, as she had no friends or relatives anywhere
close at hand. At the time of leaving
home, she had no money or valuables upon her, and when found there was no
sign of having met with foul play.
The Coroner and several of the jury expressed surprise that nothing
was seen or heard of the deceased until night, and that she should have
wandered into the district. A verdict
of “Found dead” was returned

Birmingham
post November
26th 1888 A lady killed at Perry Barr Mrs Elizabeth wells, wife of Mr Austin l wells of Warren Farm, Perry Barr, met with a fatal accident yesterday. At about half past 10 in the morning, Mrs Wells with one of her children was being driven by her groom in a trap in the direction of Birmingham. When near the corner of Aldridge Road, the horse shed a wagon and the trap was overturned. Mrs Wells was thrown out and one of the wheels of the wagon passed over her head, killing her instantly. The groom and the child escaped with a slight shaking and the former keeping hold of the reins stopped his horse before any further injury could be done. There was a thick fog at the time, and this is believed to be the cause of the accident. Mrs wells was 38 years of age.
Handsworth
Herald 1st
December 1888
A shocking fatality occurred about half past ten o clock
on Wednesday morning to Mrs Elizabeth Wells (38) wife of Austin Lewes Wells,
farmer of Warren Farm,
Perry Barr. Mrs wells accompanied by her child was
being driven towards Birmingham where she had a little shopping to do, where
near the Boars Head, at the corner of Aldridge Road a heavy wagon was noticed
just in front of them. Owing to the
thick fog, it was not until close upon the wagon that the groom perceived
it. The horse shield whilst in the
act of passing, with the result that the vehicle ran up the bank at the side
of the road and was overturned, the occupants being precipitated from their
seats to the ground. Beyond the
severe shaking the groom and the little child escaped uninjured, but Mrs
Wells sustained shocking injuries to the head and by the time assistance
arrived was quite dead. Whether the
violence of the fall caused the injuries to the head or whether a wheel of
the wagon actually passed over it, cannot be positively ascertained. The head was shockingly crushed and death
must have taken place instantly. The
horse was bought to a stand by the groom about 50 yards down the road. It seems probably that the animal became
suddenly startled at the appearance of the wagon in front of it. The body of the deceased lady was
afterwards conveyed to her home at
Perry Barr.
Mr E Hooper held the inquest at the Boars Head inn on Thursday. The jury returned a verdict of “accidental death” carrying with it an expression of sincere sympathy with the relatives of the deceased and also desiring the coroner to call attention of the proper authorities to the necessary for widening the road.
Post 1st
December 1888 An enquiry relative to the death of Mrs Eliza Wells of Warren Farm, Perry Barr, was held at the Boars Head on Thursday by Mr E Hooper - John Henry Neville said that on Wednesday morning he was driving Mrs Wells along the Aldridge road, when he got by the old vicarage in the Aldridge road, he noticed a butchers cart standing outside the door and just in front was a wagon being drawn by four horses. The road was very narrow at this point, so he called out to the Wagoner to pull to one side as to allow the witness to pass. The man, however took no notice, but whistled to his horses. The mare witness was driving, was a very restive animal and it bolted along the footpath and ran up the bank on one side of the road. Witness and miss wells were thrown out and escaped unhurt but deceased was thrown under the wheels of the wagon, which passed over her head killing her on the spot. Thomas Surman said he was driving the wagon in question. When last witness called out to him he did his best to get out of the way. After he had gone few yards further he heard someone say “oh” and a little further on the trap passed him and his horses took fright. About 200 yards from the spot a man cried out to him “that woman’s killed” but took no notice and did not enquire into the particulars of the accident until he was stopped by the police, close by the police station. In reply to the coroner, witness, said he did not go back and see what was the matter, because he should have had to pay someone to hold his horse, and in reply to Mr Thomas Wells, witness said he did not know whether his employer had compensated Mr Wells for damage done by him. In answer to the second question from the coroner, witness said he was known by the name of “wild tom”. The coroner addressing him said he was surprised at the want of Christian feeling he had shown since Surman knew at the time what had happened. He (the coroner) should make it his business to communicate with the witness’s master. |
