HUNTER IS KILLED FIVE YEARS AFTER HIS KIN MET DEATH
Haseley Death Ruled Accidental; Police Don't Know Who Fired Shot
An Allegany County Coroner has ruled the death yesterday of an elderly Niagara Falls man as accidental but state police still do not know who fired the shot which killed 78-year-old Rudolph A. Haseley. The body of Mr. Haseley, who was a machinist, is being returned to Niagara Falls today, and funeral services will be helf Friday.
Survivors of the eight-man hunting party were to return to Niagara Falls today from Centerville in Northern Allegany county. One of the group, John Hollinsworth. 2215 Linwood Avenue was a member of a similar party when Mr. haseley's relative. Myron Haseley. was killed in the same area. Ironically, the accident happened November 25, 1947, just five years ago today. Another member of the party, George W. Piche. 1026 North Mililary road, found Rudolph Haseley. Because the bullet passed completely through the body, state police were unable to determine the size of the slug and are hampered in discovering if a member of the Haseley party or other hunters fired the fatal shot. Dr. H. K. Hardy, Allegany county coroner, said Mr. Haseley died of internal bleeding.
A son Arnold Haseley survives, as do two brothers Fred & Amos Haseley, and two sisters, the Misses Lucy and Rose Blumreich, all of this city. Mr. Haseley retired from the Titanium Alloy division of the National Lead Company after 32 years employment and then worked for Industrial Welding company. He was a native of Walmore, N.Y.
and lived in Niagara Falls 52 years. Services will be held Friday at 2 p.m. at the Gridley Funeral home and at 2:30 at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church with the Rev. Leonhardt Ludwig officiating. Burial will be in Riverdale Cemetery.
