A Fatal Accident.
Special Correspondence,
A very sad accident occured about one
mile noitli-w'esi of this place 011 Wednea
day, January 20. about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, which resulted in the death of
Frank McGuire about two hours later.
Charley McGuire, an older brother,
had a job of hauling logs to the Laval
Sock Creek. CH Wednesday as he re
lumed from a trip to the creek he called
at his home to get Frank togo with him
to the woods about a half mile distant to
help liitn put on a load of logs. At first
Frank objected togo, saying that it was
not safe tor them to load the logs alone.
When they had loaded on the bottom
course of logs and started to roll quite a
j;ood sized log on top; when they got i'.
part way up, it being somewhat crooked,
Frank went over on the other side of the
sleds and took as he thought a good hold
wiih his canthook, saving, "let it come."
Charley started 10 roll it on; the log be
inn crooked and slipery it swung around. '
Frank having the canthook on his shoul- j
der, his feet slipped and he fell, the log '
rolling on top ol him, crushing his head
between that and the other log. Charley J
rolled the log ott of him as soon as he
could, being terribly frightened, and rais-!
Ed hi- head up, when the blood spurted
out of his ears and mouth and he said,
'•lav me down Charley, I feel so bad." I
lie only spoke once alter this. Charley ;
rolled the logs oil the sleds and lilted him
on as carefully as lie could and drove
home; bin mother seeing them drive up,
fainted. He called to Win. Wheatley,
who lives nearby to assist in carrying
Frank into the house. Charley jumped
into a cutter and drove to Forksville as
f.iMt a» hori-e llesh could go; Drs. Gross
and Woodhead responding to the call in
all |ios.-ible haste. Frank died about
twenty minutes before the doctors arrived.
One side of his head and face was so
crushed that the arteries in his head were
rupiured that he literally bled to death.
Frank was born at Proctor, Lycoming
county, November 2li, 1879, and died
■lanuarv 20, IS9B, being ».ime ot
his heath, 19 years, 2 months and 4 days.
His remains were interred at Sugar Ridge
cemetery, lie was a sober, industrious
hard working young man; never idle
when there was work to be done. lie
was quiet and unassuming,one who would
raiher listen than talk himself, enjoyed a
quiet and innocent joke, and one of the
best natuied boys the writer ever met;
always having a good word lor everyone,
Ue was never better pleased than when
he was doing some kind act lor his widow
ed mother or his sister he leaves to mourn
his loss.
