Accidently Killed.
S.A. May Was so Badly Hurt at Handle Factory Saturday Evening That Death Followed in a Few Hours
Saturday afternoon about 3 o'clock Gus May met with an accident, which resulted in his death a few hours afterward. He was at work with one of the circle saws when a small piece of timber was thrown by force of the saw and struck him in the lower bowels and stomach. It did not break the skin and only made a slight discoloration. He seemed to suffer greatly and he was taken home at once and a doctor called and made an examination, but it was a difficult case to diagnose and the full import of the injury was not comprehended until a short time before he died which was about 8:30 Saturday evening.
Samuel Augustus May was a hard working, industrious man, and was respected by all who knew him. He was at one time a member of the Odd Fellows, and had let his dues lapse, but that fraternal organization conducted the funeral services.
S.A. May was born September 20, 1858, and died March 16, 1895. On Feb. 12, 1880, he was married to Miss Elizabeth McClaskey, and to the union 8 children were born; 7 of which are living, ranging in age from 4 months to 12 years. Elder Pollard conducted the funeral at Sullivan 1st Church, Monday afternoon, after which the remains were interred at the Shatto cemetery. The wife and children have the sincere sympathy of the entire community.
