William Harrison Brotherton

The sad news reached town yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock that Will Brotherton had been crushed to death while working at the rock quarry two miles south of town. With a number of other men he was engaged in getting out rock from a bluff to macadamize the road south of town, and while at work along the bluff it suddenly gave way and several tons of earth fell on and completely covered him up.

Died February 18, 1926
