McGraw, Patrick

Suffocated in a Paper Mill.
On Tuesday afternoon an accident occurred at Messrs. Barber Bros.' paper mills, Georgetown, by which a man named Patrick McGraw lost his life. It became necessary for some purpose, for a man to go down into the rotary boiler. An employee named Alexander went in, and was almost immediately suffocated or overpowered with poisonous gas. McGraw went in to get him out, and soon succumbed to the same influences. Martin, the superintendent of the mills, then went in, but was also over powered. Other men were let down with ropes, who succeeded in getting the three men out. Drs. Webster and Todd, being telephoned for, were soon on the spot, and succeeded in resuscitating first Alexander and then Martin, but McGraw was too far gone. He leaves a wife and two children and a widowed mother.
