Ohio Bell employees win Theodore N Wall life saving medals
Two Ohio Bell Telephone Co. workers Henry G. Bruhn and Joseph Lee among five Ohioans honored by the American Red Cross for first aid and life saving. Bruhn saved a nearly electrocuted helper at Ravenna in 1924 and applied artificial respiration. Lee stopped bleeding of a hunter’s arm and revived the mother who fainted. Bassitt also received honors for lifting an overturned car to free survivors.
