15. "Montesano Vidette", Fri., 10 Aug 1900, pg 1 - Story of death:
George S. Watson, a well known citizen of Montesano, was
accidentally killed on Thursday, August 9, 1900, at 11:30 a.m.,
by a runaway team. He
was hauling a load of puncheon out of the forest to the north
of town when
his team became frightened and got away from him, throwing him
off the load
and into the fromt gearing of the wagon. Death must have been
instant-
aneous. His neck was broken, a deep gash was cut in the back
of his head,
the lower jaw was crushed, several bruises were made on his
face and the
large bone in the right arm was fractured.
The accident was witnessed only by two boys, both his
grandsons, and
the incidents that transpired leading up to their grandfather's
death
cannot be clearly told by them. Mr. Watson had made one trip
for a
similar load and was returning with the second. He was
accompanied by his
little grandson, Jasper Fry, who was riding on the load with
him. As they
were coming down the skid road, now being used by Mobray &
Perkins, and
when within a few hundred feet of where the logs are loaded
onto the
trucks, the animals became frightened and ran very fast. The
boy jumped
off shortly after they started. Mr. Watson made all effort
possible to
stop the fleeing animals, but he could not check them. They
ran to near
the pile of logs lying near the foot of the skidway and went
over a four
embankment.
The boys say they saw the wagon turn over and their
grandfather went
over with the load. Nearby Clarence Garner, another grandson
was working,
and when he saw the accident he ran over to the upturned wagon.
The aged
man was dead. He was lying in between the single tree and
horses. It is
thought when the wagon struck the stump near that point the
horses wheeled
around and caught Mr. Watson in the gearing just as he fell off
the load.
The body was taken to Undertaker Kesterson's rooms on Main
street,
where it was prepared for burial and later in the day it was
transferred
to his late residence near the Scofield bridge in the eastern
part of the
city. Funeral from the First Presbytorian church at 3 p.m.
today; burial
in Montesano cemetery.
The deceased was born in Floyd county, Indiana, September
1836. His
father was J. C. Watson of that county and when he was small
his parents
emigrated to Iowa, residing near Chariton, where he lived till
1872 when
the family moved to Beloit, Kansas. At Chariton he married
Miss Sarah
Miller, the daughter of J.C. Miller, who moved with him to
Kansas. They
remained there till 1883 when they came to this place. He
lived for
awhile at Centralia where he conducted a milk ranch and after
coming to
this place was connected with logging camps in one capacity or
another.
Two brothers survive him, Charles W. Watson of Montesano, and
Richard H.
Watson of Beloit, Kansas. A wife and ten children also
survive, to wit:
John, Charley, Frank, and George; Mrs. Henderson Garner, Mrs.
Jasper Fry,
Mrs. Louis Holbourn, Mrs. Samuel Larson, and Misses Belle,
Louise and
Letta all of Montesano.
Deceased was a member of the Christian church for a numer
of years
and was one of the most highly respected citizens of the city.
