LOCAL MAN KILLED IN LOGGING ACCIDENT
James P. Murie, well-known resident of Bandon for more than 30 years, was instantly killed in the Pat Cornell logging camp on Brush Prairie, south of Langlois, at about 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
No one witnessed the accident and it was not discovered for some 30 minutes when the man was missed from his work. He was employed in the camp as a log bucker. Reconstructing the scene of the accident, fellow workmen pointed out that a tree felled in the vicinity where Murie was at work, struck another smaller tree and the latter fell in the direction of the stump alongside of which Mr. Murie had taken refuge from the falling timber. The smaller tree struck him across the head, inflicting injuries that caused immediate death.
Funeral services were held under the direction of Schroeder Brothers Mortuaries Monday, December 19, at the Baptist Church, with the Rev. J. S. Giberson officiating. Interment was in the IOOF Cemetery.
James Peter Murie, son of Tom and Viola Murie, was born near Denver, Colorado, September 22, 1844. He passed away on December 17, 1938, at the age of 54 years, two months and 25 days. He leaves his widow and two children: Grace (Mrs. Dave Rylander) and Keith, both of Bandon; also his father, Tom Murie of Denver, Colorado; and a half sister, Mrs. A. Dellaqua of Boonesville, California.
Mr. Murie left Colorado with his mother when he was a year old for San Francisco, later moving to Mendocino County, California, where he spent his boyhood. He came to Coos County in 1907. He was married here to Ruby A. Panter on September 22, 1908. He served his apprenticeship on the river steamers, receiving his marine engineer licenses in 1912. He served in that capacity until the boats were taken off the river. He spent many years engaged in logging and was widely known among woodsmen as an expert in his work. He was baptized in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on August 23, 1914.
