Hold Anderson's Funeral Saturday - Wire Tester Electrocuted While Working at Crescent Plant. Alone at Time
Edmund Anderson of 112 Samuel Street, Broad Street Park, was electrocuted while testing wires at the plant of the Crescent Insulated Wire and Cable Company at Taylor Street and North Clinton Avenue yesterday. No one saw Anderson receive the fatal shock and it is not known how long he was dead before his body was discovered by his brother George, who is also employed at the plant.
It was Anderson's work to test out the insulated wire by means of high voltage electricity. Anderson sat on a chair working an appliance to turn on and stop the flow of electricity through the wire. It is thought his hand must have come in contact with a live wire.
Patrolman McDonald and Chauffeur McCormack were rushed to the plant with a pulmotor following the finding of the body and worked for half and hour in a vain attempt to restore life. Coroner Bray ordered the body taken to Donahoe's morgue.
Anderson was 18 years old and the son of Edmund and Mary A. Anderson. He was a member of Century Council, No. 100, Jr. O.U.A.M., which organization is invited to attend the funeral from his mother's home, 112 Samuel Street, Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Interment will be in Colonial Cemetery, under direction of Poulson & Coleman.
