The Late Robert Anderson
The Cornwall Standard has the following regarding the death of the late Robert Anderson:
"An exceedingly sad accident happened on Tuesday afternoon when a young man named Robert Anderson, of the Bell Telephone repair staff, lost his life while engaged at his work. he had been sent by the foreman to remove a rope which had fallen across the wires, and had climbed one of the electric light poles just in front of the Street Railway office, on Second Street for that purpose. He was in the act of removing the rope when his right hand came in contact with one of the wires carrying a current of about a thousand volts, and the shock caused him to lose his hold on the pole. He fell a distance of about 25 or 30 feet striking the ground on his head and shoulder. He was carried into the Street Railway office and doctors summoned by telephone, reaching him in a few minutes. he was still alive, but the physicians found that he was beyond their aid and his death followed almost immediately. The little finger of his right hand was badly burned by the electric current. Coroner Hamilton was one of the doctors in attendance and he decided it was not necessary to hold an inquest. The deceased was a member of the repair staff which had been engaged here for several weeks past making extensive alterations and improvements on the telephone lines. He was a most exemplary young man and was held in high esteem by the officers in charge of that work and also by his fellow employees. his close associates say that it was his ambition to fit himself for a more responsible position in the company's service, and with this object in view he spent his spare time studying works on electricity. he was 23 years of age and his home was in Almonte. The remains were taken to that place on Wednesday, being accompanied by one of his companions, Mr E.E. Clark, of Carleton Place. A funeral service was held at Mr Stoddart's Undertaking Parlours, Rev S. Sheldon, of the Baptist Church, officiating. A large cortege, including all the employees of the Telephone Co, followed the remains to the Grand Trunk station. Several beautiful floral tributes were placed upon the casket ? a floral bell from his fellow workmen, a wreath from the young ladies of the local office, and a wreath from the members of the Baptist Church." The funeral on Friday last was very largely attended. the sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved friends.
