Citizen Democrat, (Monroe Co. TN) November 25, 1964, Page 1:
“Tellico Man Injured In Bowaters Mishap---A Tellico Plains man, Gordon A. Thomas, was injured Sunday afternoon at Bowaters Southern Paper Corp. in an accident that claimed the life of a Polk County man and also injured another man. Wendell L. Sisson, 23, of Delano, Tennessee, was injured when a huge roll of paper was accidentally moved the wrong, catching him and the other two men beneath it and he died three hours later at Epperson Hospital in Athens.
Mr. Thomas and the other injured man, James W. Evans of Rt. 2, Charleston, are both listed in satisfactory condition. Thomas is at Lowry-Henshaw Clinic in Sweetwater and Evans is in Epperson Hospital in Athens.
The Citizen-Democrat was informed Monday evening by Mrs. Thomas that the full extent of her husband’s injuries will not be known for several days but that he suffered several fractures and some internal injuries. Mr. Thomas is expected to have to undergo surgery as soon as the full extent of his injuries is known.
Mr. Thomas has been employed at Bowaters about ten years and is the father of three children. Bowaters officials report that this was the first fatal accident at their Calhoun plant in ten years.”
