  [S927] Obituary. Frederick Kress' obituary appeared in The Times Recorder (Zanesville, OH) newspaper on January 10, 1927: WORKMAN KILLED BY GAS PIPE EXPLOSION; IS HURLED 25 FEET THAWING LINE 4 MILES WEST OF CAMBRIDGE Companion Was Seriously Hurt But Expected To Recover Actual Cause of Tragedy Unknown Fred Kress, Woodsfield, Is Dead and Jacob Dennis Injured Fred Kress, 35, of near Woodsfield, was almost instantly killed and Jacob Dennis of Cambridge was seriously hurt in an explosion of an Ohio Fuel Supply Co. gas pipe line four miles west of Cambridge about 1 p.m. Sunday. The body of Kress was removed to Stevens' undertaking parlors in Cambridge. Dennis was taken to the Lawrence hospital, Cambridge, for treatment of severe lacerations over the left eye and bruises bout the body. His condition is serious, yet hopes are entertained for his recovery. The cause of the explosion was not learned by officials of the company but it was said the two men were thawing out a frozen pipe line near the Nathan Mehaffey farm. Kress was in the trench over the pipe at the time of the explosion and was blown over 25 feet into the air. He alighted on his head and had his head and chest crushed and his left arm fractured in three places. The Stevens ambulance was called to the scene, but Kress died in the car enroute to the hospital. At first Dennis did not appear so badly injured but was ordered taken to the hospital later in the day. Drew Large Crowd The explosion caused great excitement in the vicinity of Cassell's Station, and hundreds of motorists were attracted to the scene as the pipe line at the Hennaffey farm is but a short distance from the National highway. The damage caused by the blast was not considered large, as but a few sections of the pipe were broken. Kress has a wife and family living near Woodsfield. He had been working for the Ohio Fuel Supply Co. out of the Cambridge office but a few weeks, and official of the company said last night. First reports of the tragic accident were to the effect that a larger number of men were working on the line at the time of the explosion but Kress and Dennis were the only ones hurt. A second obituary for Frederick Kress appeared in the Zanesville Times Recorder newspaper the following day. KRESS BODY TAKEN HOME The remains of Fred Kress, 36, of Miltonsburg, near Woodsfield, who was killed Sunday afternoon by a gas explosion, were taken Monday to Miltonsburg where fun-eral services will be held Wednesday morning at 9:30 by Rev. Father J. B. Mattis, of the Miltonsburg Catholic church of which the deceased was a member. Internment will be made at that place. Mr. Kress is survived by his widow, seven children; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Kress of Woodsfield; two sisters and three brothers. Mr. Kress met his death while at work thawing out a frozen gas line of the Ohio Fuel Supply Company on the J. N. Mehaffey farm, four miles west of Cambridge.
