Richlands, May 11 -
Henry HESS, aged 35 was instantly killed on Saturday about 4 o'clock at Jewell Ridge, when
the car in which he was riding went over an embankment. Mr. HESS and two other miners had
finished their night shift and had got in the car and started home, the driver was
attempting to turn the machine when he got too close to the edge, thus turning over,
pinning Hess against a stump. The other two occupants of the car escaped injuries by
jumping. HESS is survived by a wife and eight children, eldest 18 years and the youngest 3
months. Funeral was held at the home Monday and the burial was in the Hankins cemetery.
