Jacksonville (Oregon) Post, Saturday, 21 Sep 1912, p. 1
Accident at Watkins. J. P. Harr, Crushed to Death by Rolling Log. 
   J. P. Harr, a prominent farmer of Watkins, residing about 30 miles south of 
this city, was fatally crushed beneath a heavy log, last Sunday morning.
   Mr. Harr and son had felled a tree on the hillside near the ranch, and were 
engaged in sawing it into stove-wood, when the log became loosened from the 
stump behind which it had lodged, and started down the hill. Mr. Harr 
endeavored to escape from its path, but fell and the log passed over him, 
crushing him almost beyond recognition.
   The funeral was held from the M. E. church at Jacksonville, Tuesday 
afternoon at 2 o'clock, with interment at Jacksonville cemetery. Mr. Harr is 
survived by his wife, two daughters and one son.
