THE MARYVILLE RECORD December 2, 1904
Friday, December 2, 1904



The four-year old child of William Terrey died Wednesday morning after an

illness of several weeks with brain fever.



William Carpenter, while breaking rock at the Oliver Camp, on Wright Logan’s

farm, had the misfortune Monday to have a splinter of rock strike him in the

eye, destroying the eye at once.



Bank---Catherine McHenry died at her home after a lingering illness and was

buried at Bethlehem Cemetery on Wednesday, November 30.



Bank---We learn from Tobe Henry of the narrow escape from serious injury of

Robert Sharp in Georgia several months ago. Mr. Henry was showing a minister a

fine mare when Mr. Sharp inadvertently slapped the animal on the hip,

startling the animal so that she kicked Mr. Sharp down and at the same time

struck and opened the faucet of a nearby hydrant, coming perilously near

deluging Sharp with water.



Bank---James Churchill and Wade Haggard, each about 12 years old, were out

hunting on Thanksgiving Day when in a spirit of fun, young Churchill told

Haggard to shoot at him since he could not hit birds, whereupon Haggard fired

at him, the bullet, a 22 short, entering Churchill’s hip from the rear, and

coming out in front after passing through four and one half inches of the

fleshy part of the hip, causing a painful, although not dangerous wound. If

the bullet had entered two iches higher, the result probably would have been

fatal. Young Haggard was much perturbed over the wounding of his play fellow.

This accident serves to illustrate the great danger that lurks in the wanton

and reckless handling of guns by thoughtless youths.
