Albert Rink, 45 years old, of 114 Baker Street, was killed about 1:30 o'clock this afternoon, when he came in contact with with an electric wire in the cooling room of the Goshen Condensing company.
Rink, who was an ice dealer under the name Rink and Son, had bought ice of the condensing plant and had gone into the cooling room to assist with the work. He was killed when he reached up to remove a 220 volt wire from the iron beam upon which the trolley used to place the crane for pulling the ice, operates. The wire had fallen on this beam. Rink was soaking wet, and when the derrick stuck he used an iron lid hook to remove the charged wire. The switch was turned off immediately and the Culp and Sons pulmotor was used for thirty minutes but without result.
Rink had made three trips from the ice plant to deliver ice, and was getting enough ice for a fourth delivery.
Rink was born near Millersburg to Daniel and Mary Rink and is a member of a large family. He wed Gladys Ritter in 1905. He is survived by his wife and eight children, and a number of brothers and sisters.
This is the first serious accident which has ever occurred at the Goshen Milk Condensing Company.
