Stephens wend@bellsouth.net July 16, 2004, 10:30 am Cedartown Standard, November 28, 1901 Mr. Olie Cannon, a clever young man working at Ray’s ginnery, got caught by the belt and was jerked feet foremost into a four-inch space in the floor. His body went half-way through the hole, his limbs and pelvis being badly crushed. Dr. W. H. Mannsell was promptly summoned, and Dr. W. A. Chapman was sent for from Cedartown. All that was possible was done for the unfortunate young man, but death came during the night as a relief to his sufferings. No one but Mr. Cannon seems to have been responsible for the accident, he having undertaken to shift the belt with his foot instead of the piece of timber provided for that purpose.
