McDonald Virgil O. [Male] b. 5 OCT 1880 McDonough County, Il. - d. 23 JAN 1904 Tulsa, Ok.

Occupation

Virgil was blown to pieces while unloading cans of nitroglycerin in one
enormous explosion. Theory was that, after unloading the final full can, he
may have dropped an empty or a full can onto those already unloaded.
Since the cans had been carried up to a higher level above that of the team
of horses, only one horse was injured with no damage done to the wagon.
As result, only a momument marks a tribute to Virgil, for there were no
remains left to be buried. Worked for Guffey Oil Company.
