James Thomas "Tommie" Adkins

(22 Aug 1899 - 31 Jan 1916)

The Citizen, Berea, Kentucky, February 17, 1916, Page 8, Col. 1 & 2: A sad accident took place near Adkins town a few days ago. Bill Adkins and his son, Tom, were cutting timber for the Bond and Foley Lumber Co. They cut a tree they thought had some squirrels in it. Bill told Tom to try to kill the squirrels. The tree they cut knocked down a tree and it knocked down another one which struck the boy on the head and broke his neck. The bereaved family has our deepest sympathy.
