8 Year Old Orville Vanderbeek Killed by High Voltage Wire
An Akron child, Orville Vanderbeek, age 8, died after contacting a 2,300 volt electric line tied from a sand and gravel elevator to a Davis grade cutoff. The accident happened in the family pasture west of the railroad tracks. The wire ends, wrapped around an insulator, were reenergized after a prior storm, and high moisture from recent rain increased the danger. Orville was in the second grade, survived by his parents and two sisters, with funeral services held at the M E church and interment in Riverside cemetery. Relatives traveled from Atwater and Bronx City for the services.
