Carthage, MO — A construction accident at a Carthage Masonic Lodge killed a Carthage man on Monday, February 27, 2012. The deadly construction accident occurred at 1339 West Oak Street at the Carthage Masonic Lodge No. 197, the Carthage Press reported.

According to reports, Toby Pauley, the Grand Worshipful Master in the local Masonic Lodge, was working with other Masons and volunteers when the accident occurred.

Pauley died instantly and was pronounced dead at the scene.
