Hamilton Appeal (Marion County, AL), January 24, 1896 - pg 1
A boy aged 17 years, named WILL SCHAW, met with a horrible accident at one of 
the blast furnaces in Sheffield one day last week which resulted in his death 
Wednesday.  He had just begun working at the furnace and in tinkering about a 
gas pipe unscrewed a nut which the moment it became loosed was forced from its 
position by the gas, which escaped with such force that it broke one of his 
legs in two places, burned him terribly.  He lingered several days, suffering 
untold agonies before he died.  His gather and mother and brothers and sisters 
are heartbroken as he was the oldest son. – [North Alabamian]
