TRAGIC DEATH AT CLAY MINE Curtis Martin Swank was instantly killed about 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon while working at the plant of the American Fire Clay Co., a short distance east of Marquis. Mr. Swank was working in the grinding room and had occasion to shift a belt. In doing this he used a stick which broke, causing him to lose his balance and fall backwards. He fell about ten feet, striking his head on a concrete floor and fracturing the skull at the base. A fellow workman was at his side in less than half a minute but the unfortunate man was dead when he attempted to lift him up. The deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Swank and was born in Canfield October 21, 1876. About 20 years ago he removed with his parents to New Buffalo where he had since resided. He was a carpenter by trade.
