Burial Peshtigo
**********************
Peshtigo Sept. 27-- A shocking accident occurred in the Peshtigo Lumber Company mill this morning at fifteen minutes after seven o'clock which caused the death of Eugene Place of this city. The unfortunate man was fireman in the mill during the night. He had blown the mill whistle at six o'clock in the morning and after this, and just before going home, he was forking some shavings into the hopper. After the shavings drop into the hopper, there is a chain that carries them to the main conveyor. He was doing this so as to steam up for the day's work, and from all appearances, he lost his footing and fell head first into the hopper. After half of his body, head first, was crowded into a space of about four inches in width. Mr. Al Brownell, the day foreman, noticed that the chain in the conveyor had stopped, and thinking that a block of wood had gone into the shavings, he went around to investigate and found Mr. Place with just his feet sticking out of the hopper. One arm was broken and his face and chest badly crushed. Death must have been instantaneous. The mill shut down for today on account of the sad event. The death blow comes with terrible severity to the wife and six small children, the oldest being a girl of fifteen years and the youngest a babe of three months.
The remains were taken from the sawmill to Harper undertaking rooms. Funeral will be Monday at 2 o'clock from the M.E. Church and interment will take place in the family plot in Grover.
