NATHAN WILSON ACCIDENT VICTIM
Tragedy struck at the hearts of many Cameron residents Monday when Nathan Wilson, 27, was accidentally electrocuted.
According to Henry Seibman, local T. P. & L. manager, Wilson's body came in contact with a live wire as he was about to complete installation of a new transformer on N. Houston St. He had been an employee of T. P. & L. for six years.
Steve Hrozek, who was on the pole with Wilson at the time on the accident, pulled him free only seconds after he came in contact with the wire.
Artificial respirations was applied for three hours, but all efforts to revive Wilson failed.
