WORKER IS FOUND DEAD IN NEW CELL BLOCK AT SCHOOL-LIFELESS BODY OF GEORGE BOSLETT OF ARDENHEIM DISCOVERED BY WORKMAN. George Boslett, age 19 years of Ardenheim, and employee of McCloskey & Co., contractors constructing the new unit at the Industrial School, was found dead while at his work this forenoon. Death occurred a short time before the body was found by a fellow workman shortly after 11 o'clock. Boslett was engaged in sweeping out the pipe-way between the top ceiling and the roof of the new cell block at the time of his death. Dr. Fred A. Ruoff, of Huntingdon, was summoned and efforts to revive him by artificial respiration failed. Dr. F.S. Mainzer also made an examination of the body. Both doctors stated that death was caused by electrocution, the result of his coming in contact with a light-current wire which furnished the light at the point where he was working. According to employees of the institution, Boslett appeared in good health today and had not complained of any illness. The body was turned over to Harry Brown & Sons (Huntingdon) Morticians, to be prepared for burial. George Anthony Boslett was a son of Georgle L. Boslett and Seraphine (Greiner) Boslett of Ardenheim, and was born in Altoona, May 17, 1919. At the time of his death he was aged 19 years, 2 months and 10 days.
