On Friday Sanford Utterback, of near Elmdale, was felling a tree and miscalculated the way it would fall. He was running to get out of the way and was struck by a limb. His companions, who had narrow escapes, picked him up and carried him to his home where medical aid was called. It was seen at once that he was badly injured, but his injuries were not considered necessarily fatal. He was worse Sunday and Dr. Fletcher was telegraphed for. At night, however, Mr. Utterback died, having continued to grow worse. He was about thirty eight years old and leaves a family. He was a brother of John W. Utterback, ex-trustee of Coal Creek Township. -s

A sad accident happened two miles north of here last Thursday. While Sant Utterback, Ben Brown and Wayman Batteral were cutting timber they fell a tree, one of the limbs of which struck Sant on the head knocking him down and unconscious. Dr. Dickerson, of Wingate, was hastily summoned but medical skill failed to bring him to consciousness and he lingered in that state until Monday morning at 10 o’clock when he died. The funeral took place on Tuesday at Liberty Church and was largely attended. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his loss. The family has the sympathy of the whole community in their sad bereavement. --s
