Delyria Quarry Accident01

 

Waupaca Post

October 31, 1907

 

            George Delyria, a workman employed at the stone crushing plant of the Wisconsin Granite Company, was badly burned by steam and hot coals on Monday afternoon.  He was engaged in tearing down some brickwork near the boiler, when the whole wall which supported the front of the boiler gave way, letting the boiler down and throwing live coals and steam upon him.  Both hands and his face were badly burned.  Though his injuries are not considered dangerous they are exceedingly painful.
