FALLING CRANE KILLS KENOSHAN
Frank O’Hare, Aged 30, Killed Instantly in Accident at Waukegan.
IS WELL KNOWN HERE

     Frank O’Hare, aged thirty-one years, a son of Mrs. Mary O’Hare of this 
city and formerly a resident of Kenosha, was instantly killed late Saturday 
afternoon at Waukegan when he was pinned under a falling crane while working 
at the plant of the Waukegan Gas company. The crane struck O’Hare on the head 
crushing his skull and killing him instantly. Fellow laborers frantically 
worked to reach him in the hopes that he might still be alive but when they 
reached the body he was dead.
     O’Hare with a number of other men was working to extricate from a pit a 
large crane which had fallen there several weeks ago. The Kenoshan was on his 
hands and knees placing a wooden block under one side of the crane when the 
entire weight slipped and caught him under it.
          Struck by a Timber.
     O’Hare was hit in the head by a heavy timber which slipped from beneath 
the opposite side of the crane and it is believed that this blow killed him 
instantly. He was also caught beneath the crane.
     The inquest into the death was held on Sunday afternoon by the coroner of 
Lake county with a view of establishing liability for it if there was any. 
Indications were, however, that all ordinary precautions had been taken and 
that the death was entirely accidental.
     The deceased, while he had not actually lived in Kenosha for several 
years, was very well known here. He was the son of Mrs. Mary O’Hare, widow of 
the late William O’Hare, whose home was at 701 Fleet street, but who has in 
recent months been making her home with her daughter in Milwaukee. He was 
educated in Kenosha and has many friends here to mourn his untimely death.
          Funeral Here Tuesday.
     The remains were brought to Kenosha on Sunday and taken to the Crossin 
Chapel from which the funeral services will start on Tuesday morning. The 
church services will be held at nine o’clock Tuesday morning at the St. Thomas 
church after which interment will be made in the family plot in the St. James 
cemetery.
     Surviving the deceased are his mother, Mrs. Mary O’Hare, now of 
Milwaukee; two sisters, Mrs. John J. Stanton, of Milwaukee; and Mrs. Ella Clay 
of Kenosha, and four brothers, John and Edward O’Hare of Detroit; Robert 
O’Hare of New York City, and Martin O’Hare of Kenosha.
