LAKEY WORKER DIES OF INJURY IN 45-FOOT FALL

Edward White, 68 years old, 2685 Twin Oak road, Fruitport Township, a 
millwright a The Lakey Foundry Corporation since 1944, was fatally injured at 
the No. 5 plant of the company by a 45-foot fall Sunday evening.

It was reported Mr. White and another employee, Frank Sipos, after repairing 
an electric crane, left it by stepping down to the rail on which the crane 
operates and from there were to step across to a core room on the second floor.

Mr. White apparently slipped on the rail and fell, although no one saw him 
fall, and struck another smaller beam 15 feet lower from whence he fell the 
remaining 30 feet to the floor.  He was rushed by the Clock ambulance to 
Hackley Hospital at 7 p.m. and died there 40 minutes later without regaining 
consciousness.

Coroner John DeHorn ordered a post mortem examination to be made today.

Born March 15,1884 at Manistee, Mr. White spent his early years there and 
moved in 1903 to Minnesota for a short residence before moving to Alberta, 
Canada.  In 1925 he returned to Michigan to live at Hamlin Lake in Mason 
County until coming to Fruitport township where he had been since.

Mr White was married to Nancy A. Boxell in Mason County Feb. 12, 1921.

He leaves his wife; three sons, Joseph H White, Muskegon, William L., at home, 
and Robert C., with the U.S. Navy in San Diego, Calif.; two daughters, Mrs. 
John Ruba, Ludington, and Mrs. Kennith Hawkins, Muskegon; four brothers, Fred 
and George White in Canada and Albert and Frank White, Manistee and six 
grandchildren.
