Evening Post, 1 March 1895
KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT A man named Harry Parsonage was working a heavy jack on a gangway at Messrs Carmichael and Son's contract for the harbour Board's bonded store this afternoon, when he slipped and fell to the ground/ The jack came on top of him, inflicting very serious injuries upon his head. Dr Henry was called in and found that his skull was badly fractured so that his chances of recovery were small. He was taken to the hospital but died on the way.
.. It appears that deceased and his mate, George Mundle, were engaged in starting to draw cylinders by means of a hydraulic jack. Mundle was pumping and Parsonage leaned over to assist him, when the jack canted. The result was that Parsonage fell to the ground and before he could move, the jack, which weighs about 1½cwt (76kg), had pinned him down and inflicted fearful injuries to his head. He was at once picked up and having been seen by Dr Henry, was conveyed by Constable Oliver and some fellow-workmen to the Hospital but he was dead before his arrival at the institution.
Deceased was a prominent member of the Rechabite Order. He was a member of the Municipal Fire Brigade for twelve years and held the post of senior branchman. Parsonage was an excellent and conscientious officer and was well liked by his comrade of the Brigade, who are to attend his funeral in full uniform. He leaves a wife and five children. One of his sons was working close by him when the accident occurred.
It is only ten days ago since George parsonage, a brother of the deceased, fell off a scaffolding at Bodley's Buildings in Lambton Quay and received somewhat severe injuries
