IRATED NEW H^OME SEWING
5 Mr J T Gaster, foreman of the
county bridge force, was struck on
t the head and instantly killed by the
branch of a tree at Clapp swamp, 7
miles west of Kingstree about 8
' o'clock yesterday morning.
Mr Gaster had been in the employ
of the Road Engineer's department
i of the county as foreman of bridge
construction for some years and was
i an honorable, faithful and efficient
jiman. He was about fifty years of
51 age and leaves a wife and a large
I family of daughters. Mr Gaster's
i home is at Johnsonville, where he
j owns a small farm. He expected
,' soon to give up his position with the
. county and return to his farm.
. i As far as we can learn, the untimely
death of Mr Gaster came
, about in this way: The bridge force
was engaged in building a bridge in
, Clapp swamp and had cut a large
cypress tree, which lodged against a
gum-tree; the gum was cut and both
' trees swung down with tremendous
force, striking a small poplar in
1 their way. The poplar, being brittle,
broke into several pieces, which
! were hurled with immense force in
' the direction of Mr Gaster, who was
; standing with Road Engineer Eaddy,
" as thev thought, at a safe distance
1 from the falling trees. A portion
of the poplar struck Mr Gaster
' squarely on his head causing a com
pound fracture. He died instantly.
! His remains were taken by wag"
on to his home at Johnsonville, yesterday
afternoon.
