Ionia Daily Standard, 9 Jan 1901

Fatal Accident at Saranac.

Saranac, Jan. 9.  (Special)  While a dozen men were taking gravel from the
Richmond pit, just north of the bridge from this village, this morning, for road
work in Keene, a bank caved in and carried with it an amount of dirt estimated
to weigh 50 tons.  The slide caught Bert Rose.  When the body was uncovered life
was extinct.

Rose was standing between his wagon and the bank.  The mass was so heavy that it
smashed the wagon board into kindling, and many bones were broken in the
unfortunate man’s body.  Deceased was 32 years old.

[Transcriber's Note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that he was
buried in Saranac Cemetery.]
