• Event: 24 Sep 1884. Hugh O. Hamblin
"FATAL ACCIDENT IN WALES - Wales - Last Wedneday William Lashbrooks was engaged in pulling stumps for C.S. King, in the town of Wales. During a little shower he stopped working, and Hugh O. Hamblin, Mr. Lashbrook's father-in-law, who was asssisting him, crept under a stump suspended on the stump machine about four feet high. Mr. Lashbrooks remonstrated with him, telling him there was danger, but Mr. Hamblin did not heed him and insisted on his coming under also. Shortly after a portion of the stump that the chains were fastened under split off, letting the stump fall, killing Mr. Hamblin instantly. Considerable sand had adhered to the stump, and as it was sandy underneath, there was not a bruise or mark upon his body and no look of pain upon his features. It is to be hoped that this will be a warning to all engaged in the same work. A watch dog highly prized by the family of C.S. King was also killed."
