Hiram G. Vestal, aged 17, died in a hospital here Saturday morning from injuries received when he was thrown against the saw of a saw mill at Siler City Thursday. The dogs on the carriage of the mill were not working right, and the young man reached out to fix them when one of his gloves was caught by a bolt on the carriage and he was whirled against the saw. His right leg was sliced off at the hip, and he was otherwise injured.
Friday his body was taken to Siler City, where funeral services and interment were held Saturday afternoon.
He leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Vestal, and one sister, Mrs. C.C. Richardson, all of Siler City.
