[ALBRIGHT, ELMO ROSSWELL "ROSS"] [WEBB, BERNARD L.] Maryville Daily Forum, Tuesday, May 28, 1940, [p. 1] Hotel Wall Falls, Killing Two Men an Old Hopkins Brick Structure Was Being Razed E. R. Albright Was Buried Under Debris; B. L. Webb Hit by Iron Beam Two Escaped When They Flee Building Two Hopkins men died of injuries received when the west wall of the old Olmsted hotel, which they were helping to wreck, collapsed and caught them under it about 10 o'clock this morning. The men are Elmo Russell ("Thirty") Albright, 54, Hopkins, and Bernard L. Webb, 25, Hopkins. Both men died shortly after the arrival of Dr. C. W. Kirk of Hopkins, who was called to the scene. Albright suffered a crushed chest, Dr. Kirk said, and Webb's neck was broken. Another Man Hurt Jerry Wiseman of Hopkins, also working on the job, received minor abrasions when he ran from under the falling wall. The building was being razed by Lloyd Geist and Sons of Maryville and Bob Geist was on the scene of operations at the time of the collapse. There were four men on the job today, Mr. Geist said, and they were preparing to fell the wall when it collapsed. The wall was the last remaining portion of the old hotel building and extended about 16 to 18 feet high, reaching to the second story of the building. It fell to the east, inside the structure. Buried Under Bricks Webb and Albright were working at the south edge of the wall when it collapsed. According to workmen and bystanders who arrived shortly afterward, Albright was buried under the bricks of the lime and brick structure. Rescue efforts at first failed to find Albright. Webb, a workman said, apparently was struck by an iron beam. He saw Webb raise his arms, he said, as if attempting to ward off the blow. He was free of bricks and apparently was not struck by them. Wiseman, who received minor injuries, said that he heard the wall crack and started to run, avoiding most of the fall. Bob Geist, who was also working under the wall at the north end, also escaped by running, he said. Funerals Not Arranged Albright is survived by his wife, Mrs. Jessie Albright; two sons, Howard and Harley Albright of Hopkins; a daughter, Mrs. William Woolgar, Mound City; his mother, Mrs. Martha Albright; a brother, Don Albright; and a sister, Mrs. Dillie Wray, all three of Hopkins.
