David E Dunkle, who was superintendent of the big saw mill of Norwich Lumber Co., at Norwich up to time the last log was sawed last August, was fatally injuried at the large sawmill in Sheffield Pa, of which he had recently accepted the position of superintendent,on Thursay,Jan 20.
Mr. Dunkle, who was one of the best known men in this section of the country,was head millwright in the huge Goodyear mill at Austin before moving to Norwich, when that town started about ten yrs ago. The family moved to Sheffield when the exodus from Norwich started last fall.
From the particulars at hand it appears that Mr. Dunkle was working on a scaffold at the Sheffield mill, when it broke,letting him down onto a shaft,breaking his back. He lived until Friday night,Jan.21.
Mr. Dinkle is survived by a wife,a daughter,Gweneth, who was attending school in Philadelphia, and a son, Lindsley. An aunt, Mrs Myra Lindsley resides in Smethport.
Mr. Dinkle was an unostentatious man of splendid qualities.During his residence at Norwich he became well known in Smethport and made many warm friends here who will be deeply shocked at the news of his sudden death.
