ROBERT (SCOTTY) ANDERSON
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 23 June 1921]
Robert (Scotty) Anderson, Heywood Avenue, was instantly killed Friday morning at the Montrose sub-station on the hydro canal. He was very badly burned. He was at work on a big switch and had opened it when he received 12,000 volts through his body, killing him instantly. It was some time until his body could be removed from the wires. The deceased who was twenty-nine years of age was married. His wife, formerly Miss Dorothy Rothwell, is in Simcoe and Mr. Anderson was to have gone for her to bring her back home Saturday. Mr. Anderson was well-known around the city. He was employed at the Ontario Power House but was sent to the Montrose station which was a rush job. He played in the Shredded Wheat pipe band.
