Patrick James Peters: North Bay Nugget (North Bay, ONT), Monday, 15 August 1932: Kirkland Lake, Aug. 15 - When he threw the radio antennae he was erecting over a set of high tension wires, Patrick Peters, 31, a local carpenter, was electrocuted shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday. The accident occurred as the unfortunate man was installing an aerial on the roof of his recently completed home. Attaching the bare copper wire to a pole, he threw the other end over a set of transmission lines, carrying a load of 2,200 volts and then grasped the uninsulated wire. Fire Chief Matheson, accompanied by Lieut. Murphy, responded to a hurry-up call for assistance, taking with them a pulmotor, but although they worked over the victim for some time, their efforts were unavailing. Mr. Peters came to this town from Englehart at the time of his marriage, three years ago, working as a carpenter at the Lake Shore mine. He quickly made many friends and was well liked by everyone who knew him. Surviving are his widow, Hazel, and 18-months-old daughter, Therese, and a brother, Joe, all of Kirkland Lake; his mother and younger brother, David, of Detroit. The funeral will be held wednesday with interment in the Roman Catholic cemetery at Charlton.
