Death of George Spencer Millet

February 15, 1909, was George Millet's 15th birthday. The boy worked at a well-known insurance company in the NY Metropolitan Life Building in Manhattan, New York. On this day he would show up to work. The boy was well-known in the office. All throughout the day his female coworkers teased that they would give him a kissing spree after work.

At 4:30 pm the six stenographers would chase the shy teenager playfully. Before the chase he had apparently just placed it in his pocket and which was a 6-inch metal tool in the shape of a knife. In the chase, he would slip and fall. He would scream "I'm stabbed" before going unconscious in a pool of his own blood. When he had fell the ink eraser in his shirt pocket pierced his heart stabbing him.

 

One of the girls went to help him automattically,but passed out from the sight of blood coming from his chest. On the way to the hospital, George would pass away. 

His grave says:
