  	Aberdeen Journal, Wednesday, 29 July 1829 FATAL ACCIDENT.- On Saturday last (25th), a meeting of the Parochial Schoolmasters of Kincardineshire was held at Fordoun. Mr Murray, manufacturer, and church treasurer for the parish of Fetteresso, Mr Silver, schoolmaster of the same parish, and Mr Hendry, schoolmaster of Glenbervie, were returning home together in a gig from the meeting. At about ten in the evening they reached the bridge over the water at Glenbervie, where the road turns at almost a right angle. The wheel here came in contact with the parapet wall, and the shock threw the gentleman out with such violence, that Mr Murray and Mr Silver were killed on the spot, and Mr Henry was dreadfully cut and bruised, but strong hopes are entertained of his recovery. Mr Murray was found inside the parapet, against which his head had struck; and with the shattered gig lying upon him. Mr Silver was thrown over the bridge, a height of 14 or 15 feet, and fell on a hard stoney place where there was no water. Mr Henry upon recovering a little was able to scramble home; but so stunned that he was unable to tell where or how he fell. Their unhappy situation was discovered by some men passing along the road within half an hour after the melancholy catastrophe took place. Mr Murray and Mr Silver were both very highly respected and esteemed by all who knew them, as most exemplary and correct in every way. They were most useful and beloved members of society; and their premature death is greatly lamented by all ranks of the community. See picture of bridge at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1387735
