He was cutting some firewood and a limb from a falling tree struck him on the head and killed him instantly. He was 60 years old and left a wife and four children. He was a good man and valuable citizen, in good health, and the sad accident cast a gloom over this community. The remains were interred at Lawrence Friday afternoon.
