New Market, July 19--We have learned that the late George Carpenter, whose funeral was held in New Market last week, suffered a horrible death. The Sunday Omaha Bee tells of his death. He was pinned high in the air, beneath a giant boom that he was trying to repair. It was necessary to cut one foot with a pocket knife as surgical instruments could not reach him. Blow torches were used to cut away some steel and these burned him horribly. He was employed by the McEachern Construction Co. He left one son, Paul, and several brothers and sisters to mourn his death. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jul 22, 1929
