George Bryson, 21, Died Cutting Timber for C.W. Denning & Co., July 27, 1926

George Bryson Accidentally Killed

George Bryson was fatally injured while cutting timber for C. W. Denning & Co. near Cullowhee last Tuesday morning about 8:30, and died about 2:30. A limb caught and struck him in the head, which, at first, was thought not to be so very serious as there was no cut, but when he did not regain consciousness a doctor was called and it was thought best that he be taken to a hospital, but he died before they got him to town. He was taken to Medford’s Undertaking parlor and prepared for burial.

The deceased was the son of T. C. Bryson, who lives near Addie, and was 21 years old. He is survived by his father and mother and several brothers and sisters.
