Man's Life crushed Out
Paul W. Hoover Killed Between Motor Truck and Tractor
Paul William Hoover, aged 27 years, of 1148 Jackson street,
a motor truck driver for C.K. Williams & Company, was killed
this morning at 9:30 when he was pinned between a motor truck
and a tractor in the woods near the soapstone quarry of that
company, above the Fifteeth street plant, along the Bushkill
creek.
A motor truck had stuck in the mud there and Mr. Hoover got
a tractor for the purpose of pulling the truck out of the mire.
On starting the tractor, that machine suddenly upset and Mr.
Hoover was pinned between the truck and tractor, causing internal
hemorrhages which resulted in his death.
Fellow workmen came to the assistance of Hoover and Dr. Ralph
Fisher was summoned. On his arrival he pronounced Mr. Hoover
dead. Dr. Theodore Reichbaum, deputy coroner, gave a certificate
of accidental death.
Mr. Hoover had been in the employ of C.K. Williams & Comany
for the past 14 years. He was born at Riegelsville. His widow,
Mrs. Florence Hoover, survives him, with two children. Doris
and Pauline, also his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Levi Hoover, 660
North Thirteenth street and two brothers, Raymond Hoover, of
Nazareth, and John Hoover, of 421 North 13th street, Easton.
He was a member of St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Riegelsvile;
Black Knight Commandery, Knights of Malta, and the Woodmen
of the World. |
