BIBLE STUDENT DIES IN STORM
Niagara Falls man was on his way to Holy Thursday service
Courier-Express Niagara Falls Bureau
Niagara Falls, Mar. 25-An old fashioned Christian was Amos A. Haseley, 59, 623 90th Street. Today was Holy Thursday and there was to be a morning service at St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church at Walden (sic) at 9.30 o'clock.
At 8 Haseley peered from a window at his home into the turbulence of gale-gripped snow. It did not daunt him. Though it did convince him that he should start forth at once. He knew well the entire five-mile course, for he had covered it Sunday after Sunday, but in that mad world of flakes and wind, traveling would be difficult. With firm stride he set out. In Tuscarora Road near Lockport Road at 9 o'clock, Howard Bodie, Sanborn, stopped his truck sharply, at the side of road, partly covered with snow, was the body of a man. Coroner R. Emes was called. Death from over-exertion, he decided, In the pocket of the man's overcoat he found a Bible. The leather cover, betraying fond use by many gray-lined cracks, bore in guilt (sic) letters the name: Amos A. Haseley. And as Dr. Emes read, scarcely a mile away were tolling the bells that called all worshippers before Pastor Edward Grabau. On Sunday there will he a service at 2 o'clock at the Haseley home and at 2.30 at St. Peter's Church. Then St. Peter's Cemetery will receive the body. A bachelor, the man left a sister, Mrs. Henry Haseley, who had married a third cousin, and three brothers, William, Rudolph and Theodore, all of Lockport.

Niagara Falls Gazette
Heart Attack, Brought on By Exertion of Fighting Storm, Kills Amos Haseley; Gale Sweeps Wide Area.
Vagaries of March weather produced one for the book in Niagara Falls last night-snow, hall, lightning and thunder, borne on the wings of a 50 mile "northeaster" that sent the mercury down near a new low for the month. One death here was indirectly attributed to the storm, which brought wide inconvenience to residents.
