Thomas Nodwell died while working a team of oxen at the Wheeler sawmill.  He lost control of the team and was unaware the dragging hook had pulled up a plank across the flume.  While rushing to try to recapture the oxen, he stumbled, fell in the water and drowned.  It was the first drowning in Erin.
