• Notes

  Goshen Democrat July 28, 1911, pg. 1 CAME IN CONTACT WITH LIVE WIRE CHESTER BAILEY KILLED JUST BEFORE NOON TODAY. WAS PAINTING ROOF AT HAWKS MILL Hand Came in Contact With Live Wire Causing His Electrocution (From Tuesday's Daily) Chester Bailey, an employe of the Hawks Milling Co., was killed by an electric shock at 11:30 o'clock this forenoon. Bailey and Ira Bickel were at work on top of the engine shed, painting the metal roof, when his right hand accidentally came in contact with a live wire above him. The wire, himself and the metal upon which he was standing formed a circuit, causing him to receive a shock of sufficient voltage to kill him. Drs. Becknell and Ash were called and later Drs. Kirby and Edmands were also summoned and for an hour and a half efforts were made to resuscitate him, but it was found to be of no avail. It is probable that the shock killed him instantly. Mr. Bailey was about 24 years of age and was formerly employed at the plant of the Banta Furniture Co. For about five or six weeks past he had been working at the mill. He leaves a wife and one child and also his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Bailey. His father has been in the employ of the Milling Co. for the past 20 years. Mr. Bailey resides on the North Side, but for some time his wife has been ill and they have been staying at the home of her father, John Bennett on South Ninth street. He was taken to the Bennett home after all hope of resuscitating him had been abandoned.
