ACCIDENTS AND CRIME - A BOILER EXPLOSION:
One of the most melancholy disasters which ever occurred in the county was the explosion of a boiler at Alexander Demorris' sawmill, in Steady Run Township. It occurred March 2, 1875, and resulted in the instant death of four persons, the fatal injury of a fifth, and serious injury of several others.
The mill was very thronged with work and was being run at a high pressure of steam. At the time of the explosion the mill was not in operation, it having been stopped for a short time to file the saw, and a head of steam was allowed to accumulate beyond the capacity of the boiler. Mr. Demorris was filing the saw; Hezekiah Utterback, his son, Hezekiah Utterback, Jr, and nephew, Pony Utterback, had just arrived with a log. Mr. Utterback, Sr, was talking with Mr. Demorris and the boys had gone to the furnace to warm themselves; the engineer had just stepped out with a Mr. Merrifield to mark some logs when the explosion took place. The two Utterback boys, R. D. Snakenberg and Andrew Binehart were killed instantly. Mr. Utterback, Sr, was struck by the debris, fracturing his skull and lower jaw, from the effects of which injuries he shortly died. Mr. Demorris had a leg and three ribs broken and his face blown full of particles from the furnace. Mr. Merrifield had a leg badly bruised and the engineer sustained a number of serious injuries. Mr. Binehart and Mr. Snakenburg were turning a log on the carriage at the time of the explosion and were mangled in a horrible manner. The mill was a total wreck, the boiler being torn apart at every joint and scattered over several acres of ground.
