Philip O'Dell - death by lockjaw after a cut while working at a sawmill.
John E. Long - Moving Picture Company coming to Hastings. Quite cutting edge for the time. John would have been traveling and filming local events and people - to be later shown in the towns own nickelodeons. The people would pay him a small fee to be filmed and he would then get a small cut from the box office when these films would be shown. He would then go on to the next town. Even Johnstown had one of these set ups. Films in 1907 were still these wonderful. magical forms of entertainment - it's hard now to imagine how people felt when they saw themselves on the big screen. Must have blown their minds and inpacted their lives in so many different ways. I will stop waxing on now....lol - otherwise I can talk about my love of early film for days. And bore you all to sleep....lol.
