Upon reaching the scene of the accident he found the dead body of the young man completely covered with the exception of his feet which protruded from the bottom of the pile. Help was at once summoned, the wood removed and the remains taken to Mr. Fisk's home. Dr. Squires of Roulette was called who upon examination discovered that the neck was broken and that death in all probability was instantaneous. The accident is one of the saddest that has ever occurred In that section of Potter County. The victim was robust, hearty, just in the prime of early manhood, and respected by all who knew him. He was born November 2, 1885 in Pleasant Valley Township where he has spent his life. He is survived by his parents and sister, Mrs. William Fisk. Funeral services were held at the Sartwell Creek church Monday at 2:30. The large number of persons present and the beautiful flowers spoke louder than words of the high esteem in which he was held. Interment was made in the Sartwell Creek cemetery under the direction of G. H. Grabe & Son.. United States Pennsylvania Coudersport The Potter Enterprise 1909 May 27 Page 1 Obituary for Grover M.
