FREDDIE GROSSBECK
Oct 26, 1896
Greenlee, Co. Az

Solomonville: Last Friday evening a fatal accident occurred at 
the ranch of C.V. White, by which Freddie Grossbeck, the eldest 
son of Mrs. White lost his life.

Freddie and his younger brother were sent out for some kindling 
wood, but instead of going to the woodpile they went to an old 
shed which was covered with no less than a ton of dirt and Freddie 
commenced cutting the center post which seemed to be the mainstay 
of the shed.  When he had it almost cut off the younger brother 
saw the shed commence to fall and ran from under it just in time 
to save his life.  A moment later it came down with a crash, 
catching the elder boy beneath its weight.

The boy who had escaped ran to the house and gave the alarm.  
Assistance arrived in a very feww minutes and the debris 
removed and there beneath lay the crushed form of the unfortunate 
boy. His neck was broken, his chest crushed and one arm and 
both legs were broken.
