Barn Worker
Killed by Fall
Albert Myers, age 29, was instant-
ly killed at 3:05 Wednesday afternoon
when he fell to the ground from the
roof Of the . new steel barn of, Ed.
Rose, .East boundary, McKillop
township, near IBrodhagen.
The dead man's home is at Sit.
Clements, Waterloo County. Myers,
who worked for bhe :Eastern Steel
Products company of Preston fol the
last ten years, was engaged at the
peak of the roof, forty feet from the
ground, poibting on the ventilator.
IN'o one actually saw hotw he last
his balance and fell,
The nearest man to him was Clar-
ence Haffner, also of Si.'Clements,
who was ten feet away on the peak
:of bhe roof. The opening for the ven-
tilator had 'been drilled,. and 3d can
only be ,sup',p'osed that Myers was
drawing •a nail which came suddenly
(free, throwing him off balance. TVlhen
Haffner first noticed him, the un -
'fortunate man was disappearing over
the edge of the steep hip -roof, He
made no outcry.
He crashed head first on a 2x4
plank which was ''hooked on' top of
an iron railing on a supply tank. The
plank was smashed by the impact
and he roiled •off on to a cement
root cellar. -
The first to -read him was Wiimer
Rase, son of Ed. Inose. His skull was
badly crushed and other terrible in-
juries sustained, death having been:
instantaneous.
Dr. Mackay of Seaforth was called;
an inquest was riot deemed neces-
sary. Tlhe accident occurred at the
north end of, the bean on the west
side.
IA very sadfeature was that in
another ten minutes the roof would
'have been finished. The barn would
have been completed by Thursday
night when a barn dance was to have
been held. Becauae ,of the accident
the dance is cancelled.
The body was taken to St. Cle-
ments about 5 p.m. in Mr. Rose's
Vicar Deceased was unmarried. His
father was not at home when the sad
;word was telephoned to the St. Cle-
tnent's farm, his 'm'other receiving the
lmessage. Ile was an only son, but
.three sisters survive.
This is the first barn erected; by
this companyin the district.
Mr. Rose's barn had been burned
early din the summer by lightning.
