WORKMAN DIED AT HOSPITAL - MICHAEL KELLY, BRICK MASON, KILLED AT NEW JEFFERSON BUILDING
After being unconscious for three hours, Michael Kelly, the brick mason, who was struck on the head yesterday with a falling timber while at work in the Jefferson building, died at the St. Francis Hospital, where he was removed following the accident. The death of Kelly yesterday makes the fourth fatal accident that has occurred at the structure since it has been under construction.
The deceased lived at 604 Evans street, and leaves a wife and two children to mourn his death, besides hundreds of friends in the city who knew him. The inquest over the remains will be held by Coroner Elliott either this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
The unfortunate workman was at work in the basement of the big building when he met his death. He was engaged in laying a tiling partition around the elevator shaft. The timber that killed him, was a two by four scantling five feet long. It fell from the eleventh floor from a platform where two men named Warren and Wood were at work for the Otis Elevator Company.
One of the men attempted to throw the short timber from the tenth floor to his fellow workman on the floor above. It had several spikes driven in it and a spike caught on the upper platform. Kelly was stooping over when the timber fell and probably never knew what hit him. He was rendered unconscious for the impact of the falling beam crushed his skull. Dr. Weber was called and the man was removed to the St. Francis Hospital, where he died three hours later.
Michael Kelly is the fourth man who has lost his life on Peoria's new skyscraper. The first workman killed, fell from the eighth floor on the Fulton street side, and two steel workers were knocked from a scaffold on the Majestic Theater side of the building, by a falling plank and were killed.
KELLY, Michael J., died at 5 p.m. January 20, 1910, at the St. Francis Hosital, aged 35 years.
Funeral from the residence, 604 Evans Street, Sunday at 2 p.m., thence to St. Mary's Cathedral. Friends invited.
Interment in St. Mary's Cemetery in West Peoria, IL.
