Hawarden Independent, February 5, 1948

The father and mother of Hubert Drew, who was killed in an explosion in Arizona recently, learned at their Emmetsburg home recently further details of the tragedy which took their son's life. A letter to them from the justice who conducted the inquest reported that four men, including their son, had been killed in an explosion in a powder plant at Benson, Arizona. The blast was so terrific that it killed four men and destroyed any trace as to which might have caused it.
