S. Robins was working with him but was distant a few feet and escaped being caught. Robins and his companions, who were working at the pit seized shovels and labored with their utmost strength to released their companion from the mass, hoping that by some chance that he might have escaped being killed and while they labored a teams was dispatched for a physician and physicians were telephoned for by Mr. Leonard to have them speedy on the ground. Dr. G. H. Mammen was the first to arrive, coming in a very brief time, but all efforts to resuscitate him were futile. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Carpenter of Center street and was their only son and they and the daughters were prostrated by the tragic death. The remains were taken to the undertaking parlor and prepared for burial after which they were taken to the home which had been so suddenly cast into gloom. Thomas Carpenter was about 25 years of age. He was a member of Dewey Camp Woodmen of the World and its members have done everything possible to alleviate the sorrow of the parents occasioned by the loss of their beloved son. The funeral will be held from the Congregational church on Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. LeMars Globe-Post newspaper Dated Wednesday, August 26, 1903 From Contributor: Ethel Cunningham
