Distressing Accident Results in Death

Mr. Jimmie Fulgham, well known citizen and saw mill man
of western Oktibbeha county, died last Saturday at the Starkville
Hospital from the effects of an injury received while operating
his mill.  From the best information that could be gathered, it
seems that the circular saw broke while in motion and a small
piece struck Mr. Fulgham in the head penetrating his brain.  He
was immediately brought to the hospital but died within twelve
hours after the accident.

Mr. Fulgham, was about 25 years of age and leaves a wife and
three small children.  He is a son of Mr. Jim Fulgham, of the
Double Springs neighborhood and a grandson of the late Philip
Fulgham, one of the best known citizens of the county.
