- Shock Fatal to Worker
Charlie G. Fox dies in machine accident
Charles G. Fox, 46, 2609 2nd St., died shortly after arriving in the emergency room at Methodist Hospital Tuesday afternoon, apparently of an electrical shock.
Fox and two co-workers were disconnecting wiring on a machine tool and apparently grabbed a “hot wire” at Continental Moss-Gordin Inc., 300 Paris Ave., about 3:30 p.m.
The mishap occurred in the plant’s research facility and no one else was injured, according to H.G. Moss, vice president for western operations.
Voltage of the hot wire has not been determined, but Moss indicated it was “either 220 or 440.”
Fox was taken to the hospital by a Henderson ambulance.
Funeral arrangements were pending late Tuesday at Sanders Funeral Home.
Fox, a Lubbock resident 13 years, had been supervisor at Continental Moss-Grodin since moving here in 1953 from Paris, Tex. He was a World War II veteran and member of University Baptist Church.
Survivors include his wife, Lois; two sons, Ronnie and Donnie, of the home; a daughter, Jan, of the home; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence A. Fox, Paris; three brothers, Raymond, Colorado Springs, Colo., Edward, Las Cruces, N.M., and Andrew, Paris; and two sisters, Mrs. Jack Mason, Dallas and Mrs. Jess Brawner, Paris.
