William Latham, a D.&H. bridge carpenter of Oneonta [Otsego Co., NY], fell from the high bridge, which spans the Lovejoy creek near the depot, last Wednesday afternoon at 5:00 o'clock and was instantly killed. A gang of bridge carpenters have been relaying ties for several days and had reached the centre of the bridge with their work Wednesday. Their mode of operation is like this: Two rails of the track are taken up, the old ties removed and loaded on a car and thence taken to the end of the bridge and dumped off. New ties are then loaded on the car and taken to replace the old ones. In handling the ties four men with carrying hooks carry the ties to their respective places. On Wednesday afternoon Latham was engaged with three others in carrying a new tie, when he stepped on one just laid down, which slipped, with him and he let go of the handle to his carrying hook. In doing so the tie he was helping to carry pushed him and he fell backward through the bridge, where the ties had been taken up, and down to the creek bed, a distance of 96 feet. As he lost his balance and started to fall he was heard to say "Oh dear" and pitched headlong to the ravine below. His companions hastened to where he fell and picked up his lifeless body, in which nearly every bone was broken by the fall. The remains were brought to Karks's undertaking rooms and cared for. Coroner A.J. Stilson of Windsor, was called and viewed the remains and after a short investigation of the facts, rendered a verdict that death was purely accidental. On Thursday the body was taken to Oneonta where the funeral was held Saturday. Mr. Latham was about 35 years of age and is survived by a wife and two children residing at 31 Spruce street, in that city. [MHD notation: d. April 1912]
