Patrick W Tierney
Funeral Services for Patrick W Tierney, 25 former Springfieldian who was killed in an accident at Boulder Dam Friday, will be at 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon in St. John's Episcopal Church. Burial will be in Greenlawn cemetery under direction of J W Klinger.
Suggested edit: On Dec. 20, 1921, a crew surveying locations for the dam got caught in a flash flood, and a man named John Gregory Tierney was lost forever in the raging Colorado River, one of the first casualties of the project.
Then on Dec. 20, 1935, 14 years later to the day, the job site suffered its last fatal accident, when a worker fell to his death from one of the two intake towers on the Arizona side of Black Canyon. That man was Patrick William Tierney, J. G. Tierney’s only son.
