Accident at St. Hillaire – 
J.F. Bastien returned Monday night from St. Hillaire bringing with him the 
body of his brother-in-law, Eli Blair, who met his death in a saw mill at that 
place. It seems that Saturday (October 28th) night Mr. Blair was working at 
his usual place in the mill, when he was struck in the groin by a piece of 
timber which flew out of the edger, fatally injuring the unfortunate man. He 
lived but five hours, although he was conscious most of the time. His 
relatives here were notified by telegram of his death, and Mr. Bastien left 
immediately for St. Hilaire to bring the body here for burial. Mr. Blair 
leaves to mourn his untimely death a wife and five children. Funeral services 
will be held tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. in the French Catholic Church. 

November 1, 1905, Wednesday; Little Falls column -
The funeral of Eli Blair was held Wednesday afternoon from the French Catholic 
church.  Interment being in Calvary cemetery.
