Poisonous Well Gas Kills 2 Boys in Georgia
In Lawrenceville Georgia two youths died after entering an abandoned well. Fifteen year old Billy Avery and fourteen year old Buddy Greeson were playing near Felton Avery’s vacant property when Greeson climbed into the 32-foot well. Greeson collapsed at the bottom and died. Billy Avery followed with a rope but succumbed before rescue could reach him. The elder Avery and a rescue team with gas masks tried to save them.
