Says the Brookyille. Republican:
"On Saturday, the 4th inst, Mr.. Ere
mont McNutt, young man of about
twenty years, and son of Mr.. Robert
McNutt, of Beaver township, met with
an accident which caused his almost
instant death. He was in the employ
of Mr.. Samuel Lattimer, taking out
timber for Messrs. Jackson, Carrier &
Verstine, on the North Fork, and at
the time of the accident was piling
square timber at the creek. He was on
the lower edge of the pile, when the
logs separated and he accidentally fell
between them, three or four rolling
over him and crushing him in such a
manner that he died in about five
hours after the accident. He was an
upright young man, who had the re-
spect and esteem of all who knew him.
His remains were taken to his fathers
home ON Sunday, and on Monday
afternoon were inferred in the grave
yard at Geistown.n
