His body was recovered by two Yarmouth scuba divers, Jack Hatfield and RCMP Constable Cal Legassicke. Yarmouth RCMP said Thompson was operating the big bulldozer on the lake side of a company gravel pit, working from the water's edge, when his machine suddenly slipped into a deep water hole. The bulldozer disappeared and initial efforts to locate the victim were unsuccessful. A number of men, including company officials, under RCMP direction, were soon on the scene, but it was about 4 hours before the body was located by the divers, in about 35 feet of water. Late last night efforts were still being made to recover the machine. A native of Oxford, Mr. Thompson was 42, and since coming to Yarmouth, about six months ago, had been residing with his wife at 3 Cliff Street. He was the son of Rufus Thompson and the late Mrs. Thompson, Oxford, and is survived by his wife Pauline; his father; five brothers, Robert and Carl, Oxford; Donald, in Ontario; Vaughan and Ronald, in British Columbia, and a sister Susan (Mrs. Kenneth Brown), Ont. The remains are at Sweeney's Funeral Home, and will be forwarded today to Black's Funeral Home, Oxford. Interment will be in Pine Grove Cemetery.
