Killed By Rolling Log
Green Farmer, a well know citizen of Wyoming county, was killed last Saturday morning by being crushed under a rolling log, while working at his home on Laurel Creek, in that county. Mr. Farmer, with his sons, was at work logging and was on the lower portion of the slide when a log coming down met some obstruction which diverted it from its course causing it to strike him with such force as to crush the life from his body almost instantly. He is survived by his wife and several children, most of whom are grown. The remains were buried at Pine Grove cemetery, at McGraw, on Sunday.
