Dr. Wilkins, coroner viewed the remains and the verdict of the coroner's jury was that the deceased came to his death by accident. Just exactly how the unfortunate accident occurred will never be known as the deceased never regained consciousness although he lived about an hour. Mr. Haley was 55 years of age and had lived in this community over thirty years. He was descended from an old and distinguished Mississippi family and was a nephew of the late Calvin H. Moore who held a Federal position during the administration of President Cleveland. Mr. Hawley was a Knight of Pythias and Mason and the remains will be interred today by the Masonic fraternity. # # #
