Arthur B. Fay, engineer of
the fishing steamer Nirvana, Capt. Lee Murray,
passed away at the Addison Gilbert Hospital yesterday, at the age of 35 years, 4 months,
and 24 days, following an accident at sea on Tuesday.
While setting around a school of mackerel, his
arm became entangled in the rope of the hoister. The member was so badly mangled
that amputation was necessary at the Addison Gilbert hospital, where the man was taken
after being landed at Rockport. His name was put on the dangerous list and he
lingered until yesterday, when death ended his sufferings.
The deceased was a native of Sandy Point, N.
S., where he was born March 4, 1890. He was the son of Jeremiah and Emily (Stewart)
Fay and came to this city when a young man. He had been employed in machine shops
about the city and was rated a good workman and well liked. Of late, he had been
engineer of steamer Nirvana.
He married Augusta Schmorrow Sonia,
by whom he is survived, together with two step-children, Robert M. and Mary
Grace Sonia. He also leaves a mother in Nova Scotia. |
