Additional Comments:
George Blessel was killed by a fallen tree December 14, 1893. 
George was killed while working with George Wittman of Wittman Brothers. They 
were chopping down a large pine tree. The tree fell the opposite way of what 
they had predicted. The butt end twisted around and hit Mr. Blessel in the 
stomach. He fell and got up. When asked if he was hurt he said , "Yes, in my 
stomach." He didn't say anything further but began screaming in pain. The rest 
of the logging crew rushed to his side and John Wittman rode into St. Marys to 
get the doctor. George was dead on their return, however. His body was 
returned to St. Marys by mail and a funeral was held at St. Marys Church at 9 
o'clock Saturday morning, December 16th. He left a wife and eight children 
ranging in age from 13 to 9 months.--------------------------------------------
