Lee Killed Almost Instantly.

New York, 1895

Thomas Lee, while carting dirt from a bank on Metropolitan avenue, East Williamsburgh, Tuesday morning, met death by accident. He was shoveling from a low bank when he noticed that a quantity of earth was about to fall. He tried to get out from under, but the earth fell on him, throwing his head violently against one of the wheels of his truck. He died in a few minutes.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, June 14, 1895, p. 1.
