Everett Glascoe, aged 18 (or 13?) years and a son of Mrs. Augusta Hillard of Davdson county, met with a horrible death at the Old Salem Water Mill site
Friday afternoon. Young Glascoe was visiting his aunt, Mrs. Charles Myers, and with two smaller boys, Bernie and Harvey Sparks, had gone to the old mill
ruins to play. One of the boys suggested that they go up the mill race to the first water gate and close down the gate. This was done by Glascoe, thus turning the
water into that section of the race extending from the gate to the old mill place, and starting the old water-wheel in motion. In his attempt to ride on top of the shaft
the unfortunate boy's clothes caught, his body being twisted around the shaft at the rate of some 180 revolutions a minute until he was terribly mangled. The body
had to be taken from the shaft in pieces. The Sparks boys were powerless by fright to aid their companion and even if they had had the presence of mind to open
the water gate and thus turn off of the power, it was too late to save the life of their companion. A Coroner's Jury was summoned and reported in effect that the
unfortunate boy came to his death by his own negligence. Undertaker Vogler took the shattered and mangled remains in charge and prepared them for burial.
The grief stricken mother was sent for immediately. The body was interred Saturday in the Waughtown Cemetery.
