- Brings Details of Fatal Mishap
Fire Chief Returns From Funeral of Former Gladstone Man.
Details of the fatal accident that befell Herman Zimmel, aged 48, a former Gladstone resident, in Chicago last Friday afternoon, were brought to Gladstone Thursday night by a nephew of the victim, Fire Chief Raddant, who with a brother (in-law) and a sister of the deceased, Walter Hubert, 423 Delta avenue, and Mrs. Herbert Meldrum of this city, attended the funeral in Chicago Wednesday afternoon.
The late Mr. Zimmel was overseeing the building of a brick structure at Blue Island, about thirty miles from Chicago, when he met his death. A scaffold had been erected by the workmen Friday morning. Shortly after dinner Mr. Zimmel went to the top of the scaffold. He started to walk across when he lost his balance in some way and fell to the ground.
In the descent he struck several different supports to the scaffold, and apparently stunned by the first impact, was unable to reach out and arrest his fall by grabbing a hold. His work men saw him fall to his death. Mr. Zimmel was dead when picked up. His back had been broken in the fall.
Funeral services were held at the home of a daughter, at 716 West Fifty-ninth street, and burial was made in a Chicago cemetery.
The Gladstone fire chief, a nephew of the deceased, and Mr. Hubert and Mrs. Meldrum motored to Chicago, leaving here Monday, and returned home Thursday night.
The late Mr. Zimmel was once in the employ of the Soo Line In this city, and was a checker at the local docks, He left here about seven years ago for Chicago, where he procured a position with a construction company.
Huge banks of flowers at the funeral served as mute tokens to the high esteem in which the late Mr. Zimmel was held by his friends In that city.
