Funeral Tomorrow A. M. George Hoard, 31, was instantly killed at the plant of the Mosinee Paper Mills Company Monday afternoon about three o'clock when he fell through a large ventilator from near the roof of one of the tallest buildings, to the basement. His body was not discovered until about six hours later when searching parties started looking for him. George had beenworking with a crew of men cleaning the large ventilator pipes that parallel the machine room, under the roof of the machine building. His regular job is working on No. 1 Machine but this machine is undergoing repairs and part of the crew were at work on other jobs. Working in the ventilator was hot work Monday afternoon and George came out and climbed the ladder to the roof to get a drink. On returning he evidently was curious to see what the inside of another ventilator looked like farther down the room. A door led into the ventilator and George evidently opened this door and stepped in. One end was faintly lighted from the outside, while the other end was pitch black. The dark end contained the open top of the ventilator. Whatever caused him to walk into this dark corner and thus into the open end of the ventilator, will never be known. The ventilator is approximately five by eight feet in size and his body hurtled to the bottom, sixty feet below, without an object of any kind to stop him until the very bottom where it is thought he struck a large pipe and bounced over to the far side of the opening striking his head and shoulders on a concrete pier. The impact evidently bounced him to the other corner where he was found in a sitting position. The men with whom George had been working did not miss him during the balance of the afternoon as they supposed he had been given some other job by the foreman. He was not missed until he failed to come home at five o'clock. Mrs. Hoard, thinking that he was working overtime, sent his supper over with the children but they were told that their father was not at the mill. It was then that the search started. It was found that he had not punched out at the time clock and then his street clothes were found in his locker. Then the search was on in earnest in the mill. His companions of the afternoon searched the room leading to the ventilators thinking that perhaps he had fallen into some of the moving machinery there, but nothing was found until the seldom used door into the end ventilator was found open and then with the aid of a flashlight Mr. Hoard's fingerprints in the dust about the top of the ventilator opening were found. The men then rushed to the basement where his body was found. George Allan Hoard, son of James Hoard, was born in Necedah on Feb. 5th, 1899. He has been a resident of Mosinee most of his life, moving here with his parents in 1901. On December 31, 1918 he was united in marriage to Mamie Mink in Mosinee and to this union were born three children, James, Harrington, and Allan. Besides his family Mr. Hoard leaves to mourn his untimely demise, his father, James Hoard, two sisters, Mrs. Ambrose Barry of Mosinee and Mrs. Melvin Oleson of Rocky Ridge and two brothers, Minot and Kenneth. Funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at ten o'clock from the home, Rev. Friedman of the Methodist church officiating, and internment will be in the Union cemetery.
