     1914 OBITUARY: A terrible accident. An accident occurred over by Springfield which caused the death of Ancel Garrett, who was some 30 years old. He was hauling large tile and was standing on the back of the wagon. A couple ladies came along and saw the team with the load of tile standing in the road and one lady got out to lead the team by. She saw a couple of large tile on the ground and the other lady discovered that young Garrett, was under two of the heavy tile dead. It is presumed he fell off back and the tile fell on him killing him. He was a son of Do__ Garrett and highly esteemed. The funeral was held at Springfield Sunday and quite a number of her_ attended.

     On last Thursday evening while helping Matts Biewen thresh, Earl Snodgrasse's team became unmanageable, running away and throwing him across the double-trees. Luckily he escaped without any serious injuries.

     This community was shocked last Friday afternoon to learn of the sudden death of Ancil Garrett near Richland. This was also an accident caused by a team running away. Funeral services were held n the ME Church conducted by Rev Heath. The family have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood in their sad bereavement.

     How the accident occurred is not known. Whether the team ran away, throwing the wagon into the ditch and overturning the tile on Mr Garrett, or whether the wagon got too far to one side, the tile slipped, catching Mr Garrett under their weight, each tile weighing six hundred pounds will never be known. The team stopped a half mile east, and they were not running and had not appeared to have been a runaway. The father of the boy testified the team was usually gentle, but had to be watched very carefully, as they liked to take sudden starts.

​     The county carries liability insurance and the parents of the boy will claim the same from the company. There may be a question as to whether he was working for the county or hauling for a contractor, which may complicate affairs in the settlement, but it is thought that the company is liable for it.
