Charlotte Observer, August 21, 1922
INJURED AT PLLANT DIES HERE SUNDAY

Injured internally when a cable of a crane he was operating at the 
hydroelectric development at Mountain Island broke Wednesday, Charles Marion 
Gannt, 17, died Sunday afternoon at the Presbyterian hospital.

Harry Strehl, another youth, and Gannt were at work on the mammoth crane, when 
one of the cables broke, hurling the young workmen to the ground.  Strehl was 
also injured, his leg being crushed and later amputated at the hospital.

The body of Gannt was taken to Claremont, his home, Monday.  The funeral will 
probably be held there Tuesday.

Gannt is survived by his mother, Mrs. Mattie Gannt, four sisters, Mrs. Walter 
Sutton, Mrs. Fred Carpenter, Miss Mildred Gannt, and Miss Nellie Gannt, and 
five brothers, Thad, Claude, Ernest, William, and Bobby Gannt, all of Claremont.
