Surnames: Willmore, Williams Classification: Death Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADI/2288 Message Board Post: Payette Independent Payette, Idaho Thursday, March 29, 1923 Serious Accident Frederick Benjamin Willmore of Preston, Idaho was accidentally killed while unloading electric light poles in the Fruitland yards, about 4 p. m. Thursday, March 22nd. While working for the Idaho Power Co. under Lineman F. G. Redman, and Virgil McAdams another employee, was severely injured when the poles on the top of the car upon which they were standing, while cutting the wires which bound the load to the car, began sliding. Seemingly, the stakes on the opposite side to which wires had been fastened were broken off and the pressure on the upright stakes on the side they were working caused them to give way and they were carried to the ground and buried under the failing timbers. McAdams was rushed to the hospital at Ontario, where it was found he sustained a broken leg and an injured shoulder. A coroner's inquest was held and young Willmore was found to have met instantaneous death caused by the falling of the poles upon him. His body was brought to the Landon Home Undertaking Parlors, where it was prepared for shipment. It was accompanied to Preston by an uncle, Clancey Williams, who is a brother of the boy's mother.
