A 16-year-old Kirbyville youth was accidentally electrocuted at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 30, 1970 at the home of a friend.
Harold Duane Robbins, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Robbins of Kirbyville, was swimming at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L.J. "Mutt" Satterwhite about 2 miles east of Kirbyville on FM 363.
Barefooted and wet, the youth leaned over an electric water pump to get a drink of water when an apparent short in the wiring caused the accident.
He was knocked against the pump house and death was evidently instantaneous, according to Justice of the Peace Allen Hooks of Precinct Five and Dr. T.S. Whitecloud, who held the inquest.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Friday in the Calvary Baptist Church with the Rev. Wesley Felps, pastor of the Deer Creek Baptist Church, and the Rev. Paul Gallion of the north Bon Ami Baptist Church, officiating. Burial will be in the Kirbyville Bean Cemetery under the direction of Causey's E. E. Stringer Funeral Home.
Surviving are his parents; two brothers, Michael Wayne and Glenn E. Robbins of Kirbyville and his grandparents, Jodie A. Robbins and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Biscamp, all of Kirbyville.
