Benjamin F. Langsdale

Benjamin F. Langsdale, 34, painter, assisted in an attempt to save W. Hampton Arrasmith, 30, painter, from electric shock, Cincinnati, Ohio, August 7, 1911. (See case of ARVEY N. FLORENCE.) Langsdale attempted to lift Arrasmith off the wires but received a shock that knocked him from his feet across a scantling. He made four or five attempts to remove Arrasmith but each time received a shock that knocked him away. He then aided Florence in supporting Arrasmith until a rope was tied around Arrasmith and he was lowered to the ground.
