GEO. E. PROCTOR KILLED WHILE HAULING WOOD
George E. Proctor, son of W. A. Proctor, was accidentally killed on Saturday morning last while hauling cordwood from the timber near the Cottrell schoolhouse. He was alone at the time, and no one saw the accident, but it is thought that he fell from the top of the load when his team made a sudden start as he was found lying in the road with every appearance of having been run over by one of the wagon wheels.
The wheel had passed across his neck touching both shoulders. His neck was broken. Dr. H. H. Hughes was called at once but his services were not needed, as death must have been instaneous. The body was brought to Carlson's undertaking parlors here where it was prepared for burial, the funeral taking place yesterday at Pleasant Home. Rev. David Cathey officiated at the house and at the grave. The pall bearers were six of his young friends, Will Hayworth, Oscar Stone, Guy Hood, Joe Haley, Burleige Spiers and Fred Wagner. There was a large attendance of relatives and friends and numerous floral tributes.
George E. Proctor was born March 23d, 1904 and had passed his entire life at the family home near Cottrell. He was popular among his associates. His untimely passing will leave a void in the family and community that can never be filled. The Sympathies of this entire section are extended to his parents and other relatives in parents bereavement.
