Mr. S.P. Waldo, a well-known business man of Kenly, ws killed Saturday night in an unusual accident. Mr. Waldo had left a Kenly barber shop and was on his way to his home about half a mile distant. Evidently he stumbled and fell in a ditch by the road way, a sharp snag by the roadway piercing his forehead and neck. Probably the blow on the forehead caused his death.
A neighbor found the lifeless body of Mr. Waldo early Sunday morning. Mr. Waldo’s family missed him Saturday night and searched for him, but were unable to find him. There are no lights in Kenly and it is believed in the darkness Mr. Waldo missed his footing and stumbled by the roadside. The darkness prevented his body being found before morning.
The deceased was 48 years of age. HIs wife and nine children survive. He is also survived by his mother, Mrs. A.M. Waldo of Cary; two sisters, Mrs. John Brothers of Cary and Mrs. Geo. Rood of Fort Haywood, Va., and brother, Mr. N.R. Waldo, who conducts a meat shop in Wilson.
Mr. Waldo of Wilson attended the funeral services of his brother conducted near Cary yesterday.
From The Daily Times, Wilson, N.C., Dec. 7, 1921
