The Pulaski Democrat, Wednesday, 06 January 1909
From the village of Orwell:
On New Year’s day a bad accident happened in the northeastern part of this town, by which Arthur Law, a son-in-law of George Cook, lost his life. Mr. Law stood on a wood rack, resting the butt of his gun on the bottom boards. As they were riding along a sudden jar caused the gun to slip through a hole in the rack. In Mr. Law’s attempt to pull the gun up through the hole, the contents of both barrels was discharged in his abdomen. Dr. L. F. Hollis of Sandy Creek and Dr. G. W. Nelson were hastily summoned but the wounded man died at ten o’clock that night.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mattie Cook Law, two children and relatives in Wayne county, where he resided until three years ago. Mr. Law who was about forty-two years old, was a grandson of the famous manufacturer of Law’s bluing. The remains were taken to South Butler Monday for burial.
