A shocking accident occurred at Martin No. 3, which cost M.

supposed that in starting the gas engine something caused the belt to break
which runs the pumping gear, the belt striking him and causing him to fall in
direct line with the belt which wound around the shaft, and in consequence the
belt struck him every time the engine the engine turned. He was terribly

Spirit of Democracy,
A Fatal Accident
A fatal accident occurred at the boiler house on the Marty
farm at well No.3 near Round Bottom Friday. M.M. Updegraff
who had charge of the wells had started the gas engine and it is supposed that
the belt broke and judging from the holes cut in his cap the heavy iron clamp
which fastens the belt together struck him in the head causing instant death.
The belt wound around the clutch of the engine and at each revolution the end
of the belt and clamp struck him on the head until his head was entirely
battered to pieces. He was alone and no uneasiness was felt until evening when
it was noticed that all the engines were not going and that this well was not
pumping although the engine was in rapid motion. Upon investigation the
lifeless body was found.
Mr. Updegraff had been an employee
of The Fisher Oil Company for many years and has been with the Pure Oil company since the transfer of the property. He was a trusty
man, aged about thirty years. A wife and three children are left.
The remains were taken in charge by Undertaker C.C. Roth of
Round Bottom and brought to Woodsfield and on Sunday morning were taken to

John William Vandine, son of
Isaac and Eliza Vandine was born
peculiar. Some years ago, when a mere lad, he was handling a
revolver and attempting to discharge a cartridge which had remained for
sometime in the gun and looked into the muzzle, when it discharged its contents
into his left eye, the bullet lodging somewhere in his head, where he carried
it to his grave. Last Saturday, I understand, while handling baggage for the B
& O
Railroad, he was struck upon
the head by a trunk. It seemed to hurt him but little at first, but later in
the day there was a severe pain in his head, which continued to increase until
death relieved him of his great suffering Tuesday morning, August 13. It is
supposed that the jar in some way disturbed the long resting place of the
bullet, which was the cause of his death. This should be a warning to all boys
in fooling with firearms.
He obeyed the gospel under the ministry of Elder W.H.
Devore at Beallsville about ten years ago. He leaves a father, two brothers and
two sisters to mourn his departure.
His mother preceded him to the spirit land.
The funeral was conducted at the Christian chapel, on South
Hill, Beallsville, by Elder A.E. Harper and Rev. D.W. Harkins. After the
services his body was laid to rest in the Beallsville cemetery to await the
coming of the Lord to raise the death and “render vengeance to them that know
not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus; and to be
glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at in all them that believed in
that day.” The relatives have our deepest sympathy in their bereavement. H.

Strange fancies thrill our hearts, Tears from our eyes

Stead of life he gave thee quiet rest - We know you have not strayed afar, Since near at hand the angels are.

Spirit of Democracy,
The deceased came to Woodsfield,
Brother Ward was the first brother to be called to the
Aerie above, from the Woodsfield Aerie No. 461, installed over four years ago.
While we have been fortunate, we surely have been blessed with life, health and
strength. Yet while we have been in the midst of death.
As members of the Fraternity with our heads bowed down in sorrow and sadness,
our hearts have been made to feel one of the greatest tests of the true Eagle,
is that which has been best shown by the obsequies of our brother who has been
called to the Aerie above. It must be surely be a consolation even to the dying
to realize that his friends and brothers will follow his poor mortal body to
its last resting place, and not only that but an example of the world of what
it is to be an Eagle; and that we practice what we preach.
It being impossible for Woodsfield Aerie No.461 to attend
the funeral to pay this last tribute of respect to the dead, and in behalf of
the Woodsfield Aerie No 461, we desire to return our obligation and thanks to
the good brothers of Bartlettsville Aerie for their
sustaining help in doing what we could not do, a duty we as Eagles owe to each
other and to the great brotherhood of man. It is only a question of time for us
all and let every Eagle throughout Eagledom, so live
and act that we will not be forgotten in this most solemn hour. L.T.J. and
