The following is copies of an obituary which appeared in the Deseret News, dated June 6, 1860: {Died] "On the 31st May. about 6 P.M. by falling on a circular saw. in Little Cottonwood Kanyon, Reese Williams, of Slanthoysant, Carmarthen, South Wales."
ANOTHER MAN KILLED IN A SAWMILL
On Thursday last, about 10 O'clock A.M., Mr. Reese Williams, an industrious and enterprising citizen, while at work in one of the sawmills in Little Cottonwood Kanyon, of which he was one of the owners, in removing a splitting off " a slab", accidentally fell backward into a circular saw, which was in motion, and which almost instantly severed one of the shoulders from his body, cutting off the shoulder and collar bone, leaving the arm hanging by some of the skin. His side and hip were also badly mutilated.
A surgeon was immediately sent for and arrived before he died, which was about 5 o'clock in the evening. He is the second man that has been killed in that mill by accident since it has been owned by the present company. Such accidents have been of frequent occurrence in this territory, and sawyers should be extremely careful when and where so much danger exists.
