Hilsinger, Town Marshal John A.

John Hilsinger was a town marshal and volunteer firefighter for the city of La Conner. He was assisting with a fire at a local shingle mill when he was electrocuted. Marshal Hilsinger had just taken the nozzle and stepped in a pool of water when a wire fell to the ground electrifying the pool of water he was standing in. A pulmeter was used but failed to revive him.

Marshal Hilsinger is survived by his wife, daughter, mother, three brothers and two sisters.
