In December 1924 there were many reports in rural newspapers announcing the accidental death of Thomas Rossiter, a 16 year old youth.
While those articles gave little information on the circumstances surrounding Thomas' death the reports of the subsequent funeral and coronial enquiry relate the story of this mishap.
