    LYON MOUNTAIN MINER DIES IN GRAVEL SLIDE

    Albert Tonneson, 52, Veteran of 30 Years, Instantly Killed Yesterday

    His body buried and crushed by approximately two tons of loose gravel from an iron ore bed, Albert Tonneson, 52, veteran Lyon Mountain miner was instantly killed at 9 am yesterday, an hour and a half after he started his day’s labor.

    Tonneson, employed as a foreman by the Republic Steel Corp., had been a mineworker for 30 years. He is survived by his widow and six children, all of Lyon Mountain.

    According to William J. Linney, general manager, the victim and Frank Longto, a fellow worker, were employed at the 1267 foot level where the accident took place. The gravel slide evidently broke with such rapidity that Tonneson was unable to even attempt a break for safety, but no coherent version of the accident could be given because of the nervous strain, which effected Longto.

    The gravel, left by blasting during the previous night fell only a distance of about 2 feet, but there was such a tremendous amount that it quickly settled over Tonneson.

    The death of Tonneson is the first fatality at Lyon Mountain over a considerable length of time and is unofficially said to b the first fatality since the mines were leased to Republic Steel Corporation in early 1939.

    Svend married LEIGH Mary Ellen about 1915. Mary (daughter of LEIGH John Arthur and PULSIFER Rosetta Edith) was born on 22 May 1893 in Lewis NY; died on 26 Mar 1971 in NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
