A
Sad Accident
A
very sad and serious accident occurred Wednesday afternoon near Okabena, when a
team of John Ulfer's, which was hitched to a binder, runaway and in their blind
fright ran over his little four year old son killing him instantly, the body
being literally cut to pieces. This is the first harvest accident we have been
called upon to record this season and it is certainly a sad one. The grief
stricken parents have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad
bereavment. --
