MERVIN CLINE, NIGHT FIREMAN, DROPS DEAD
Wellsville Man Succumbs as he Reaches East End Plant
HAD BEEN IN HIS USUAL HEALTH
Was Former C. & P. Engineer, But Had For Some time Taken New Duties
Just as he arrived at the Potters' Mining and Milling Company's plant in East End at 6:30 last evening (February 11, 1912), Mervin Cline, aged 50, night fireman at the plant, dropped dead. Heart failure is ascribed as the cause.
For some time Mr. Cline has been in poor health, but when he left his home in Wellsville last evening he seemed to be somewhat better tan he had been for some time. On his arrival at his place of employment, however, he had the fatal attack. He had just entered the engine room, and had not had time to remove his gloves when he fell under a bench, death resulting in a few minutes.
Officer is Called
Officer Jay Fisher was called, but by the time he arrived the man had already died. The remains were taken to the Sturgis morgue, where they were prepared for burial.
His relatives were quickly notified of his death.
Mr. Cline was formerly an engineer on the C. and P. division, and later worked in the Wellsville plant of the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company.
