Nunemaker Warned, But Had no
Time to Make His Escape
Benjamin W. Nunemaker, of 377 Myers Street, was almost instantly killed yesterday morning at the steel foundry of the Pennsylvania Steel Company.
Nunemaker was employed as a conductor of a locomotive crane which was being used to draw some cars from the machine department of the foundry. He was fixing a coupling with a hammer. A car behind him moved forward so that a casting could be gotten from under it. This car was loosened from its fastening to another crane and went forward toward Nunemaker. The engineer of the steam crane blew his whistle to warn Nunemaker but he could not get away in time and was pinned between the two cars. He died a few moments later.
Nunemaker made his home with his sister, from whose residence the funeral will be held, the time to be announced later.
