The Cherokee Advance 27 Aug 1886 p 3
At the steam plaining mill of L. Black & Son, in Marietta, on Saturday evening 
last a painful and fatal accident happened to L. Mat. Black, which resulted in 
his death a few hours afterwards.  Mr. Black was feeding the plainer when the 
machinery struck a knot and sent with terrific force a slivered piece of the 
plank against his leg, which made a large and ugly gash in the fleshy part of 
his thigh from which the blood flowed freely and could not be checked, and 
from which he died from exhaustion of blood. 
Just four months and ten days before his death he and Miss Ella Hames, of this 
county, were united in marriage and, having just completed and furnished for 
themselves a handsome and comfortable dwelling in Marietta, had begun life, 
under extraordinarily bright and propitious surroundings.  Both were young and 
energetic, and life to them bid fair to be one of continued happiness and 
prosperity.  But, how uncertain is life-to-day we are stout, hale and happy, 
to-morrow we may be launched into eternity, and too, as he was, without 
scarcely any warning.  He was a young man about 22 years of age, of good 
habits, noble and generous soul, energetic, good workman, honest and truthful, 
and a consistent member of the Methodist church.  We tender to the heart 
broken wife and mother, and the grief stricken sorrowing brother, sisters, 
relatives and friends, in this hour of their deep and almost unbearable 
trouble our sincere sympathies as a personal friend of them and the dead young 
man.  May they bear up under it with christian fortitude, remembering that 
"all things work to gether for good to them who love God."
