From the Saint Croix Courier, 17 Apr 1917:
A FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE COTTON MILL
George Coffey met death while adjusting a belt to revolving pulley. Early Friday morning last, a sad accident occurred at the cottom mill, the victim being George Coffey one of the pioneer workers, his name being identified with those who were employed in the building of the mill in 1881.
In connection with his work as carpenter, he had charge of the belting, and previous to the installing of the rope drive in 1908, he was frequently called upon to superintend the readjustment of the large driving belts. Since the above date, he had continued to readjust the belting in other parts of the mill.
Friday morning about 7:45, he was called upon to adjust a five inch belt to a rapidly moving pulley in the dye house, which conveys power to a vacuum pump. He had ascended a ladder, and while standing on a platform was using a broom handle, holding it against the side of the driving pulley. In some manner, the stick caught and broke, and it is presumed struck him a severe blow on the throat and side of the head, which hurled him to the floor, a distance of about eighteen feet. He was unconscious when picked up, and remained in this state until he passed away at Chipman Memorial Hospital about two hours after the accident.
The deceased had many friends and was affiliated with the Knights of Pythias and Oddfellows and had been associated with the orange order.
The funeral took place Monday afternoon with Rev. B. O. Hartman of the Methodist Church officiating. The bearers were, from the Knights of Pythias, Robert McIntosh, Byron Murphy, B. H. Trecartin, and from the Oddfellows of Calais, Maine, Charles Harris, Charles Barker and J. W. Thomas.
A choir composed of F. S. Groves, Percy Smith, Mrs D. K. Harman and Miss Daisey Kerr, rendered appropriate selections. The deceased was aged sixty seven years and is survived by his wife, four sons and two daughters, namely: Robert of Milltown, Fred of Newdale, Manitoba, George of Hamilton, Ontario, and David in the Canadian West, Miss Mable Coffey at home and Mrs George Green of Fredericton.
His brothers who survive are James Coffey of Presque Isle, Richard and Henry of Harvey, and Fred of St. Stephen. One sister survives, Mrs George Moran of Boston.
The floral offerings were many and very pretty and included set pieces from the Knights of Pythias, Oddfellows and the employees of the shops at the cotton mill. Interment was in the rural cemetery.
Quiet in his manner but sincere and honest in all life's duties, Mr Coffey was justly held in sincere esteem and will be missed in many circles.
