EDWARD M. LINCOLN


"TRAGIC DEATH NEAR MANNFORD"


From "The Mannford Eagle, Silver Edition," Mannford, Oklahoma, May 27, 1987
(Reprinted from "Mannford Herald," September 23, 1910

This neighborhood was greatly shocked yesterday afternoon by the report of the tragic death of Edward M. Lincoln, which occurred about 12 o'clock. Mr. Lincoln fell from a load of hay and was crushed to death by the wheels passing over his head. He and his brother, James, were hauling hay and it seems that James was some distance ahead when he heard his brother call and looked back just as the wagon passed over him. The accident occurred on the Basin road near the home of Mrs. Spess and Mr. Lincoln was taken to this house, but died a few minutes after reaching the house. The accident is supposed to have been caused by the rope which bound the load on the wagon breaking and letting the bail on which he was sitting fall off the wagon.

The deceased leaves a wife and one child, was a highly respected citizen and leaves a wide circle of friends who will be made sad by his untimely death. He was a member of the M.W.A. and will be buried today in Sinnett cemetery under the auspices of that order. (September 23, 1910, Mannford Herald).
