Employee struck and killed by a falling beech tree limb

At approximately 9:30 a.m. August 2, 1994, Employee #1 was using a chain saw to cut down a 20 inch diameter beech tree. Apparently, there was a 28 foot long beech branch (from a standing beech tree 13 feet away) lodged in the top of the tree being felled. This branch broke off the standing beech tree and struck Employee #1 on the top and back of his head. He died at the scene from massive head trauma.
