The Semi-Weekly Messenger (Wilmington NC) February 8, 1898
A fatal accident occurred at Hub on Monday morning of last week. When the
planing mill of the Butters Lumber Company was started the pressure of steam
blew out the elbow of the pipe, scalding Fuller Waters, the engineer, and Furney
George and Charles Schulemyer, employees, who were in the engine room. Young
George, who attempted to escape from the room by crawling through the fly wheel,
was overcome by the steam and was so badly burned that he died in a few hours.
The injuries of the other men were severe, but are not considered dangerous.
George was from Jacksonville.
