One Victim of Explosion Dies at Sanitarium
William H Andrews never recovered consciousness after accident
Harley Kreager's life hanging by a thread--dead man was 34 years of age.
After lingering in a state of unconsciousness which was unbroken from the time of his injury, William H. Andrews, one of the two seriously injured victims of the Black Handquarry dynamite explosion, died about 7 o'clock Wednesday night in the Newark sanitarium.
Harley Kreager, the other victim, showed little change in condition, Thursday, and attendants say his life is hanging by a slender thread. A slight rally is looked for if the man is able to withstand the reaction which follows the long period on the operating table, the shock of the accident and the operation. Kreager was able, Wednesday, to recognize friends by their voices. His left eye was removed, and the right eye was bandaged, but whether the one eye will be saved appears a question.
W. H. Henry was about 34 years of age, and lived two miles southeast of Black Head. He is survived by a widow and two children, Angeline and Elsie Andrews. There are three brothers: Walter, a B & O brakeman, and Issac, employed at the B & O oil house, both living in Newark, and John Wesley Andrews of Bellaire, and two sisters, Bertha Jane Varner and Edith Mast, both of this city. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Andrews, are living in Madison avenue, Newark.
The body was taken to the morgue of Criss Bros., prepared for burial and Thursday afternoon removed to the family home near Black Hand. The funeral will be held Friday morning at 10 o'clockk in the M. C. church at Irrville. Rev. Westlake officiating. Carriages will meet friends at Black Head, leaving Newark on 7 o'clock interurban.
Kreager, who is about the same age as his dead companion, has a wife and one son. Their home is on Brushy Fork, southwest of Black Head.
