KEYSER, Samuel

We glean the following from last week's Hyndman Bulletin - "Mr. Samuel Keyser, an old and highly respected citizen of this place, was fatally injured by a fall of fire clay while at work in the mines at Gooseberry last Thursday morning. One of his legs was so badly mashed that it was amputated, but he died early Monday morning, death being due to internal injuries. The deceased was fifty-three years of age and a veteran of the civil war. Internment was made Wednesday afternoon.
