Fred F. Thomas, 1875-1931 (Front page story in the Rumford Falls Times, March 19, 1931)
Mr. Fred F. Thomas,

[Mr. Thomas had three children – Merrill P., Paul W. and Louise H.]
After passing a dipper of water to Henry Nelson, with whom he had been working yesterday near Mt. Zircon, South Rumford, surveying a tract of land, Fred Thomas, 58 years of age, fell dead, probably from a heart attack, about five o=clock yesterday afternoon.
Both men were walking on their way home and stopped, as they came to a spring, for a drink of water. Mr. Thomas, it is reported, filled a dipper, and passed it to Mr. Nelson, who turned aside a moment. When he turned back Mr. Thomas had fallen to the ground.
Mr. Nelson worked on Mr. Thomas about ten minutes, and then went to the [Asa] West home where the medical examiner, Dr. Harold Stanwood, undertakers and deputy-sheriffs Roderick and Chabot were summoned. Dr. Stanwood said last night that death was probably due to a broken neck sustained in the fall or from a blood clot in the heart.
At the West farm a horse and team was secured and Mr. Thomas was brought out to a waiting ambulance. Roads were muddy and great difficulty was experienced in bringing the body out of the woods.
