"Lawrence County (Louisa Letter)
Another account of the mill explosion: Nine persons were in the building at the time of the explosion: Moses Heaton (sic) and son, Granger Shannon, William Harris, Samuel Burke, Harry Brayton, Jeff FULLER, Roscoe Strother and Ep FULLER.
The mill was a frame structure, property of EPPERSON FULLER, and was in Wayne Co., W.Va. on the banks of Big SANDY, near the curve in the river known as Dean Bend. It was a saw and grist mill, and a log was being sawed at the time of the explosion. The explosion occurred about 3 p.m. Oct. 2, 1874.
Moses Heaton was killed outright, both legs blown off at the knees; he was dead when found. His son was hit in the head with one of the iron door frames and the force of the blow tore the top of his skull off, throwing part of his brains some 18 feet from where he stood. He lived about 15 - 20 minutes. The Heatons lived near the mill.
Granger Shannon lived about 8 miles from Louisa and had stopped at the mill on his way down the river. His injuries were about the hips and bowels. He lived perhaps 30 minutes. Shannon was married and was a half-brother of William Shannon of Wayne.
William Harris was from Coalton neighborhood, but was living at the time of his death at Perry Powell's. He was instantly killed. The wounded, it is thought will get well.
Dr. John Wade lives at Lindsey Smith's about a mile or so from the mill. He immediately went to help. Dr. Carnahan, who also lived not far away, rendered his assistance."
