HISTORY OF SANFORD - by Edwin Emery:
**********************************
March 9 - Isaiah Gowen and Aaron Jellison were killed by the caving-in of a frozen sand-bank, near Gowen's mill. They, with others, were repairing the dam, and had
dug into the bank on the east side of the
mill road, leaving a thick frozen crust hanging over them. Their attempts to break it off
had failed. Suddenly it gave way, late in the afternoon, and fell upon Gowen and Jellison as they were shovelling. They were extricated about half an hour after the accident.
Gowen was dead. Jellison, dreadfully mangled, lived an hour and half.
at Sanford, York, Maine.
