Burgess, Green (Berry) 26 Aug 1915 FROM THE HUNTSVILLE DEMOCRAT

" Geen Burgess and Luker Carter were killed instantly about noon near Whorton when the boiler of a sawmill, which they were operating, exploded. The former were managing the engine and the latter putting wood into the furnace when the explosion occured. Burgess was blown through the roof of the mill and his horribly mangled body fell only a few feet from where he stood. Both legs were broken, one ear about torn off and his head and face practically burst open. Cater was found about 50 yards from the mill, having been hurled over a fence into a potato patch. His limbs were also broken but his body was not so mangled as that of Burgess. Four or five others were present but did not receive any severe injuries. So terrific was the explosion that the boiler was blown abt 25 ft from its base.

A gum tree 15 inches across in diameter which stood near by was struck by the boiler and cut off almost smoothly and 2 or 3 smaller trees in its path were uprooted & splinteerd as if torn by a cyclone."
