Read More	Published in The Rochester News-Sentinel Friday, August 8, 1919 Fred RANNELLS, 39, was instantly killed at 7:30 o'clock Friday morning when a two ton girder, which was being loaded into a gondola car in the yards of the ROCHESTER BRIDGE CO., broke loose and fell over on him, crushing his body against the iron sides of the car under its enormous weight. Rannells, who has been employed at the factory over a year, was the foreman of the loading yards. It was his duty to direct the boom that controlled the huge pieces of structural iron as they were lowered from a crane into their places on the car. Rannells and his assistants had been at work for almost an hour when this accident occurred, having already partly loaded one car. The victim of the accident was standing in the car, in the corner of which the piece was to be placed. Two steel hooks are used to lift the steel, and it was when one of these straightened out that the girder dropt down into the car and fell over against the side hitting Rannells. The men working with him were made helpless by the appalling accident, but a nearby employe ran to the scene of the trouble and quickly placed new hooks on the girder and it was lifted from the body. His head was badly crushed and his neck broken. Death was instantaneous. The body was removed to the Zimmerman morgue. Fred Rannells, who was a son of Dr. Scott RANNELLS (deceased), had long been a resident of this city and the neighboring town of Argos. Previous to his employment at the bridge factory, he had been for more than eight years driver of one of the Arlington Hotel busses, where he made many friends. Besides this city and Argos, he had also been a resident of Sevanstopol and Hoopeston, Ill. There survive the widow, Mrs. Blanche RANNELLS, the mother, Mrs. Lewis BAILEY of Leiters Ford, and a half-sister, Miss Cora RANNELLS, of Los Angeles, Calif. As a result of the accident, the Bridge factory was shut down for the day as a mark of respect to the victim, who was one of the most popular employes. Funeral arrangements later. ----- Published in The Rochester News-Sentinel Saturday, August 9, 1919 Funeral services for Fred RANNELLS, killed Friday morning in an accident at the Rochester Bridge factory at 2:30 p.m., Sunday in the house on West Eighth St., conducted by Rev. E. Q. LAUDEMAN, I.O.O.F. in charge. Burial at I.O.O.F. cemetery. SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Obituaries - 1919 by Jean C. and Wendell C. Tombaugh
