  • Notes 
    • From the Rogers Arkansas Democrat 8/26/1915:

      "BURGESS, Green - Green Burgess and Luke Carter were killed instantly about noon Tuesday near Wharton when the boiler of a sawmill, which they were operating, exploded. The former was managing the engine and the latter putting wood into the furnace when the explosion occurred. Burgess was blown through the roof of the mill and his horribly mangled body fell only a few feet from where he stood. Both legs were broken, one ear about torn off and his head and face practically burst open. Carter was found about 50 yards from the mill, having been hurled over a fence into a potato patch. His limbs were also broken but his body was not so mangled as that of Burgess. Four or five others were present but did not receive any severe injuries. So terrific was the explosion that the boiler was blown about 25 feet from its base. A gum tree 15 inches across in diameter which stood nearby was struck by the boiler and cut off almost smoothly and two or three smaller trees in its path were uprooted and splintered as if torn by a cyclone."
