KENNETH HENRY ROSS

Fall of Rock Fatal To Berlin Miner

  Entering on his second day of work in the Salko Company mine at Macdonaldton, 
near Berlin, Kenneth Henry Ross, 30, was struck by a fall of rock Friday 
afternoon and died a few hours later from injuries sustained.
  Ross was working alone when the accident occurred.  His brother-in-law in the 
next room heard the crash and called, but received no reply and on investigating 
found Ross lying unconscious where he had fallen when the rock struck him.  The 
injured man was taken to the Somerset Community Hospital by the Johnson 
ambulance of Berlin.  He died within an hour after entering the hospital.  He 
had a skull fracture, intracranial hemorrages and face lacerations.
  He was a son of George and Bertha Barron Ross and was born October 27, 1912.  
He is survived by his wife and a son, six years old; also by three brothers and 
two sisters: Charles Ross, in the army medical corps in Washington State; Barron 
Ross, in the air corps at Malden, Mo., Merle, Allegheny Township, and Carrie and 
June at home.
