• Notes

  A VICTIM OF POISONING Albanus Myer is Fourth Workman to Die Following Inhaling of Sewer Gas. Albanus Myer, who was gassed at the Kitchener sewer plant on Tuesday, Sept. 2nd, died in the K.-W. hospital on Wednesday evening, making the fourth death in connection with the fatal poisoning by gas fumes. Eph. Ernst, the foreman at the plant, who also inhaled the poisonous fumes while trying to rescue his fellow workmen, was confined to the hospital for many days. The funerals of John Stevenson, Jacob Eby and Chas. Zuch, the other victims of the accident, were held last week. Dr. J. E. Hett, coroner, has called for a thorough investigation and it is likely that Dr. Nasmith, who with Dr. Amyot, designed the Mill Street plant in 1902, will be asked to investigate the cause of the gas fumes in the sewer tank. Crown Attorney Bowlby will assist in the inquiry. Waterloo Chronicle, 11 Sep 1930, p. 1 _________________ Myer was born in Baden in 1870 and had been an employe at the sewer farm for many years. He is survived by his wife, three sons, Wesley, Reuben and Walter, all of this city. two daughters, Mrs. H. Gardner and Mrs. Riehl, also of Kitchener, one brother, James Myer, and ten grand-children. Six sisters who survive are Mrs. M. Smee, Detroit, Mrs. J Manger and Mrs. J. Eby of this city Mrs. S. Heronimus of Crosshill, and Mrs. E. Ernst and Mrs. R. Uttley also of Kitchener.
