NICKLEVILLE MAN IS FATALLY HURT IN 60 FOOT FALL

Clem Boyer Dies at Franklin Hospital

Fatally injured in a fall of more than 60 feet at the plant of the Belmar Sand and Gravel Co., several miles down the river from Belmar station and eight miles below Franklin, the place where gravel is being obtained from the bed of the river to be used at the Clarion dam, Clemence Oliver Boyer, aged 33 years, died at the Franklin hospital at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, July 20, 1924. The accident occurred at 9:30 o'clock Sunday morning. Mr. Boyer was standing high on the derrick of the plant watching the steam shovel at work. A heavy block part of the shovel gear fell and broke the railing on which he stood and he was precipitated to the ground. His right leg was broken and his skull fractured and he sustained bruises almost all over. He never regained consciousness. The ambulance of Boyd N. Park was at once called and about 11 o'clock it brought the man to the Franklin hospital, where Dr. P.E. Cunningham attended him. The injuries were most severe and nothing could be done to save the man's life. The body was taken to the Boyd N. Park undertaking establishment and later was taken overland to the family home in Nickleville, where his wife, Phebie Whitling Boyer and several children survive. Interment is to take place in the Valley Church Cemetery, the time of the funeral not yet being set because word is being awaited from relatives in Oklahoma.
