MOORE LUMBER PRODUCTS COMPANY
Josephine County - Grants Pass
June 7, 1945: "Reuben Tucker, about 60, of Selma, died shortly before noon Wednesday at the Josephine General hospital, about two hours after he was injured by lumber that collapsed from the truck he was unloading at the Moore Lumber Products company, East G street, in Grants Pass.
The accident occurred, onlookers reported, when the outside tiers of the load of lumber on his truck fell as he was trying to steady the load before unloading. The lumber was being hauled from one of the Beck mills at Selma to the Moore planer for surfacing, according to James A. Pack, manager.
Tucker was conscious when he was taken to the hospital in the L. B. Hall ambulance.
Funeral arrangements have not been announced at this time, so further details were not available at publication time." (Illinois Valley News)
