Headline:  Victim of Accident at Jonesville was Well Known Here

William Reagan, 11, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter S. Reagan of Jonesville, who 
was instantly killed Saturday when the rock in an old-time grist mill broke, 
was well known in Jena and surrounding community.  Mr. and Mrs. Reagan moved 
to Jonesville from Mississippi several years ago and operate a farm near 
there.

The boy, who was assisting his father in the operation of the mill, suffered 
a fractured skull and died before his father could carry him to his home 
nearby.

Fred Alwell, 10 was seriously injured in the accident, but it is thought that 
he will recover.  He was rushed to Jonesville where he was given first aid 
and physicians took five stitches about the head and face.
