August 15, 1883 - February 3, 1916
On Feb. 4, 1916, Mr. Robert Arthur Carmackel, aged 33 years and Mr. James Sanders, 20 years,
who were in the employ of Mr. M. Sanders, who is operating a little saw mill near Hermitage,
were killed instantly. They were night watching and firing kilns of lumber, when a stack of
green lumber gave way catching both men under it. We conducted the burial services of Mr.
Carmackel at the Holly Springs cemetery near the town of Hermitage. Mr. Carmackel leaves a
wife and four little children in very dependent circumstances. Many people attended the burial
and shared in the sorrow that the widowed wife and her children are undergoing. May God bless
these bereaved ones. The body of Mr. Sanders was taken to Warren on the early train where his
parents live. He was a nephew of the operator of the mill. We extend our love and sympathy
to those bereaved and pray God's blessings on them.
