A special from Greenfield, Ind., last Tuesday says:
“At 8 o’clock tonight near Philadelphia, this county, John Williams, an engineer on a threshing machine, was instantly killed. The accident was caused by the engine falling over a steep embankment on the east side of the Sugar Creek Bridge. Mr. Williamson was a prominent farmer and well known over the county.”
The gentleman is a brother of Rev. James Williamson, of this city. -s
