DEATH OF LEE SELLERS
Wednesday afternoon between two and three o’clock Lee Sellers, one of the most prosperous and highly respected citizens of this county met with a tragic death near his home on Indian creek, about one mile east of Anderson. He and one of his sons were out in the hills loading a sawlog. They had placed the rope around it and were rolling it up with the team, when the rope gave way and the log rolled over Mr. Sellers and mashed him so that he died in a short time. The children, some of whom reside in the Territory, have all been notified, and the burial will take place at the Beaver Springs cemetery today. The deceased owned a large farm on Indian creek about a mile east of Anderson and was well fixed for a comfortable life. He leaves a wife and several children.
