Former Resident Dies When Crushed by Log In Saw Mill Tragedy
 
A resident of Winnsboro for many years and long-time saw-mill worker, 
Eugene Nelson Brown, 66, lately of Holly Ridge, was crushed to death by 
a falling log at the George Franklin & Son mill at Holly Ridge Tuesday.
According to witnesses, the mill skid, a moving device, slipped and sent 
a log crashing on top of the victim, killing him instantly. The tragedy 
occurred around 2 p.m. as Mr. Brown worked on the skid.
Graveside services were held at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Mer Rouge cemetery.
Survivors are a half-brother, E. D, Smith of Bastrop, and a host of nieces and nephews.
