| Siders Timothy E 2003 Point Pleasant Register, Point Pleasant, WV – (Monday, November 3, 2003) Pages A1 & A5 Siders, Timothy E II Accident kills Gallipolis Ferry Man GALLIPOLIS FERRY – A Gallipolis Ferry man fell to his death Friday morning in a freak accident at the John Amos Power Plant in Winfield, West Virginia. Timothy E Siders II, a boilermaker and member of the Boilermakers Union 667, had just arrived for work and was crossing a piece of grating that employees used within the plat to get to different levels, when it broke loose and fell more than 90 feet said a spokesperson for the Boilermakers Union. “It was just a freak accident. It was ironic. He worked in a very dangerous job where he had to be tied off for protection, but he was killed by something totally unrelated,” Dixie Gillenwater, a secretary for the union said. Gillenwater said that 100-150 other employees had already crossed the walkway and had no problems. She said that there was an employee front of him and an employee behind him, but neither were injured. The flooring where they were walking did not fall. “This was a graduate apprentice boilermaker, who worked for the Barberton, Ohio-based Babcock and Wilcox, a contractor of American Electric Power. Columbus, Ohio-based AEP owns and operates the plant. Gillenwater said that the Boilermakers Union 667 was not responsible for the iron grating in the walkway, but was not sure who was liable. OSHA investigators arrived at the scene just before noon Friday, but had no conclusions to report at press time. Siders was flown by helicopter to Charleston Area Medical Center General Division, where he died later during surgery. Siders was the son of Timothy E and Cynthia E Siders, of Gallipolis Ferry, West Virginia. Timothy would have been 29 years old Nov. 23.

| Smalley Dede Moore D 1982 Columbus Dispatch – Columbus, Ohio – (Thursday, July 29, 1982) Dede Moore D Smalley PLANE CRASH KILLS SINGER, 11 OTHERS Lindale, Texas (AP) – A twin engine plane carrying five more passengers than it was designed to hold crashed in flames shortly after takeoff and killed all 12 people aboard, including eight children and a singer of religious music, authorities said. The Cessna 424, leased by the Last Day Ministries here, crashed in a wooded area Wednesday night after departing from a private airstrip near this town about 90 miles east of Dallas. The plane was en route to a Dallas airport where members of one family were to connect with a commercial flight, said ministry spokesman Larry DeGraff. “I can’t say it was overloaded until I know the size of the bodies, the amount of fuel, the amount of luggage”, said Randy Brooks, a Federal Aviation Administration investigator from Shreveport, LA. However, Brooks said the plane’s manual specified it had seven seats and a toilet. Police and church officials identified the dead as Christian music singer Keith Gordon Green, 27, his daughter, Bethany Grace Green, 2, and his son, Josiah David Green, 2, all of Lindale, TX; Diedre M. Smalley, 37, her husband, John C. Smalley, 37, her son by a previous marriage, Chet Allen Hysell, 12, twins James and John Smalley, 7, Daniel Henry Smalley, 4, Timothy Neil Smalley, 2, Kathren Elizabeth Smalley, 2, all of Simi Valley, Ca; and pilot Don Burmeister, 36 of Lindale, TX. “It cleared the runway. It cleared an open field about a quarter mile long. It went over a wooded area and clipped some trees. On impact it caught fire”, said Smith County Deputy Larry Willbanks. Willbanks said the bodies were burned beyond recognition. Wikipedia inserted into family tree – 7/5/2009 Plane crash Gravesite at Garden Valley Cemetery Along with eleven others, Keith Green died on July 28, 1982, when the Cessna 414 leased by Last Days Ministries crashed after takeoff from the private airstrip located on the LDM property. The small two-engine plane was carrying eleven passengers and the pilot, Don Burmeister, for an aerial tour [citation needed] of the LDM property and the surrounding area. Green and two of his children, three-year-old Josiah, and two year old Bethany, were on board the plane, along with visiting missionaries John and Dede Smalley and their six children. Among several causes, the NTSB determined that the crash was largely due to aircraft gross weight overload. It was determined that the pilot, should have refused to take five more passengers than there were seats on the plane. As Burmaster was a former United States Marine Corps aviator, the NTSB concluded that since military requirements put weight and balance responsibilities on the loadmaster of the flight and not the pilot, the pilot may have neglected this responsibility by former habit. With eleven passengers on board, the aircraft was overloaded by nearly 450 pounds (202 kg) and laden center of gravity was located 4.5 inches (110 mm) past the maximum aft limit. Also considered in the final ruling was the fact that operator and pilot did not satisfy insurance requirements for aircraft familiarization for operation, and pilot’s failure of several check rides, leading to the revocation of Burmaster’s license shortly before the accident. Keith, Josiah, and Bethany Green are interred at Garden Valley Cemetery behind the Garden Valley Baptist Church,[9] less than a half-mile from the LDM property. He was survived by his wife and two daughters, the youngest of whom was born after Green’s death. |
