In regard to the accident that happened about a mile north of New Hampton station last week Friday, it may be stated that it was a blasting accident, and as a result, Michael Berry, a new man, was instantly killed by a wound in the head; and Will Hawkins had a leg so badly crushed that he died the following evening about 7:15 o'clock, after amputation. Both men were about 40 years of age. Hawkins was a widower. Berry came from Ireland and is said to have a mother in Boston. Drs. Burns of Plymouth, and Hawkins of Meredith rendered surgical aid, and Mr. Ward, one of the railroad contractors, did everything possible for the family of Hawkins. >The Plymouth Record, February 19, 1898, p5.
