Frank H McMillen, 42, an employee of the Fee Hardwood Works, was fatally injured about 5 o
clock Monday afternoon, while at work a t the plant at Newark.
Mr. McMillen was assisting in unloading a car load of logs, which is done with a cable to which a cant hook is attached. Every log but one had been successfully unloaded. The hook was attached to this one and the signal given. Mcmillen was in the act of removing a standard from the side of the car when the log "kicked back", knocking him from the car. The hold of the hook slipped and the log fell on the prostrate man, crushing both legs and the pelvic bone.
A call was sent for the Bowers and Criss Brothers ambulance, which took the injured man to his home, 155 Maholm St., where at 7:30 o'clock death relieved his sufferings. Drs. J.G. Bowers and D.M. Smith did all they could to relieve the suffering man, but at once announced his hurts as fatal.
The deceased leaves a wife but no children. Two brothers, John A And Wm. A , and a sister, Miss Lizzie McMillen, all of Newark, also survive.
The funeral will take place from the home at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in charge of Rev. L.S. Boyce. Interment will be made in Cedar Hill cemetery.
