1878 Obituary
Matters Local and Other Matters
Fatal Accident -- On Saturday evening last, at a few minutes before six o'clock, Wm Lambert Gorringe, aged twenty six years and four months, of Bountiful, Davis County, son of Wm Osborne and Fanny Gorringe, of that place, sustained an accident which resulted in his death, at seven o'clock in the evening of the following day.

Deceased was an off-bearer in the employ of Mr Wm Rounds, of Bountiful, in charge of Mr D B Bybee's mill, in Cottonwood Cañon, Morgan Co., about twenty-three miles in a north-easterly direction from Ogden City.

At the time of the occurrence the attention of the deceased was drawn to the crack of a whip, made by one of the hands, who had just come to the mill from his work in the mountains and, to escape which, being near-sighted, he stepped back, or aside and stubbed his foot against a board, and fell up the driving-belt of the mill. From this perilous position, the mill being in motion, he did all he could to extricate himself, and the hands tried to assist him, but, in a moment, he was carried between the belt and the wheel, receiving fearful injuries. Dr Johnson, of Ogden, was immediately sent for, but, on arriving, at once pronounced the case hopeless. He, however, did all that could be done to alleviate the unfortunate man's suffering.

The young man had been at the mill only one month, and was of exemplary habits and much respected. His sudden death has cast a gloom over the neighborhood where he resided, and the esteem in which he was held was yesterday manifested in the large assemblage which followed his remains to the cemetery at Bountiful.
