  Daniel F. Johnson : Volume 29 Number 1140 Date September 17 1870 County Carleton Place Woodstock Newspaper Carleton Sentinel On Wednesday 31st ult., Walter WHITEHOUSE second s/o Joseph WHITEHOUSE of Knowlesville (Carleton Co.) while returning from the Miramichi (where he had been on a fishing and shooting excursion for two days) met with an untimely end. It appears that within a mile of his father's residence, he crossed from the road towards a fence for the purpose of speaking to one of his neighbours who was harvest work, and in so doing, he rested the butt of his gun on a log, holding the muzzle in his right hand, and in the act of stepping across the log, the gun slipped, and the hammer in coming in contact with the log, the gun exploded and lodged the contents in a slanting direction upwards in the right arm and shoulder, shattering the bone and otherwise inflicting a fearful wound. He was removed to his father's house and Dr. David WILEY was soon in attendance, when every remedy that could be obtained was used to alleviate the pain and comfort the poor sufferer, but sad to relate, he gradually sank and expired about six ( ) after the accident. The mortal remains of the deceased, age 24, were interred at the burial ground at Knowlesville on 2nd inst. Rev. Geo. T. Hartley gave a discourse. Mr. W. and family were formerly from Yarmouth, N.S. and have resided in Knowlesville about nine years.
