Geisler, Marcus

Lowville Journal
May 5, 1909

Marcus Geisler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Geisler of Rome, was instantly killed Sunday evening by electricity. He was in his 13th year. He took hold of the strand of twisted wire which is strung down the side of the electric light poles, for the purpose of shaking it to see if the street lamp would light. That lamp, located in front of the Rome Steam Mills of Hughes and Wilkinson, in South George Street, near the Watertown branch and the lamp at the corner of George and Ridge Streets were out. The boy shook the wire at the latter lamp, and then, with other boys, ran to the other lamp, thinking to do the same thing. Marcus grabbed the wire, the end being about five feet from the ground. Sparks flew out from the wire and the little fellow tried to let go and could not, and fell to the ground dead.
