Thursday, 14 Jul 1864 Volume 5, Number 42 Fatal Termination A man named Geis, brewer, residing in Carrolltown, this county, came to his death on Saturday under the following circumstances: On the 4th of July he had been to St. Augustine with a load of beer and was returning home in the evening when he engaged in a race with a team he chanced to meet on the road. This team, in attempting to pass him, ran against his wagon, upsetting it or at least jolting it to the extent of precipitating Mr. G. to the ground. The wheels of the wagon passed over his leg, mutilating it in a most horrible manner. The unfortunate man was taken home and in a short time mortification set in, resulting as above. The deceased was a married man and was aged about 35 years.
