A FATAL ACCIDENT AT IRON
.....,-- HILL

Irwin Reynolds, young man of
the Fourth District of Cecil County,
Maryland, was killed on Friday
while operating feed grinding
mill on the farm of his father-in-
law, George Campbell, near Iron
Hill. Just how the accident
occurred is unknown as there was
no one around the barn at that
time.
Upon Mr.. Reynolds failure to
appear at the usual dinner hour,
Miss Campbell went to the barn to
learn his whereabouts and found
the dead man near the engine which
was still running. The belt was off
the feed mill, and the supposition is
that Mr.. Reynolds was either
caught i'll the betting while working
around the engine, or else the belt
flew off and struck him.
The deceased was rs years of
age. In 1909 he married Miss
Margaret Campbell, who, with an
infant daughter, survives him.
