Note. | Younger brother Dave Inkster recollected the story of Wishart's death: One time Uncle Albert went to Underwood to get some groceries and the mail and when he came back Wishart went out and was looking in the sleigh box while Albert was unhitching the horses. I don't know whether something scared the horses or what, but one of them swung around and jammed Wishart against the box and killed him.5 |
