"The LaFayette Sun" -November 18, 1903:
Horrible Accident - Willie Andrews Mangled in a Cotton Gin.
While attending to the gin at his home about seven miles west of LaFayette on last Monday afternoon, Willie Andrews, son of Z. T. Andrews, got his arm caught in the saws, horribly mangling his arm, almost completely scalping the back of his head, and causing an ugly wound to the face. The body remained fastened in the gin about fifteen or twenty minutes till wrenches could be secured to take the gin to pieces. Medical and surgical skill was immediately summoned but the shock on the nervous system was too great to be overcome. Death resulted in about ten hours.
A pathetic scene was presented in the old gin house, from which the body could not be moved, when the grief stricken family, this being the second member recently lost, and many sympathetic friends and neighbors crowded around the mangled body and mingled their tears in a common sorrow. Mr. Z. T. Andrews, father of the deceased, is a highly respected citizen of Chambers and has many friends who extend to him and his family their sincere sympathy.
