Robert Strong of Wyanett, a brother of Oscar Strong who lives near Green lake, was instantly killed at Smith's lumber camp near Everett,Wash.,last Friday while loading logs. The news of the fatal accident was wired to relatives of Mr. Strong at once, and arrangements were made for the shipment of the body to the former home of the dead man. Alfred Strong, brother of Robert who was with him when he met his death, came home with the body and the funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon at the home of Oscar Strong, Rev. Kling of Karmel, officiating. The interment was in the Green Lake cemetery.
Robert Strong was a very popular young man and was only thirty-three years of age. For many years he had worked in lumber camps and was said to be one of the best loaders in Minnesota. He had worked in camps for his employer in St. Louis county before going to Everett and last fall went west to continue his work. He was assisting in loading logs which were being handled by a hoisting apparatus. While he was securing a large log on the load a log held by a hoist broke loose and fell onto Mr. Strong, crushing him against another log. Just as the log fell he cried "Albert" to his brother who was close by at the time and that was the last word he ever uttered. Death was instant.
Robert owned an eighty acre farm near Green lake.
His parents live in the old country.
