From the Richmond Enquirer, 10/21/1851
Distressing Event.
About 3 P. M. yesterday,
we are pained to announce, John Ender, Esq., one of our oldest and most
venerable citizens, fell to the ground from the breaking of a ladder raised
against one of his new warehouses on the Dock. He fell some twenty feet, his
head striking the ground, and, his skull being fractured, died in about ten
minutes. He was universally respected and his melancholy death is deeply
regretted.
