Wallace - JW 1874
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Thursday, 15 January 1874
The sad news comes to us of another young man being killed. Geo. Hawthorne, last Wednesday, was hauling straw upon a wagon and while sitting near the front part driving, slipped and fell under the wagon. The hind wheel ran over his body, crushing it. He lingered but a short time after the accident. Thus four men—three of them young men not over 21 years old, and one a man in the prime of life—have been killed in a very small scope of country. J. W. Wallace was the first one, killed by falling from a horse; Wiley Foster next, who was killed by a runaway team; Jefferson Vanmeter was killed but a short time ago in a well, and the above named Hawthorne but last Wednesday. - kz
