The Clifton Forge Review says: Brooks Fisher, a white man about 25 years old, was struck by passenger train No 5 in sight of his home near Crozet last night and fatally injured. The train was stopped and the unfortunate man taken to a Staunton hospital where he lingered until this morning when he passed away. The fireman on the front engine noticed Fisher when he stepped upon the track in an attempt to cross in front of the fast approaching train but was powerless to warn him of the danger. Fisher is survived by his wife who was with him when he died in Staunton. Little is known of the deceased here and the reports covering his tragic end contain few particulars of the dead man. It is not believed he went upon the railway in front of the aforesaid train with a view to committing suicide. The funeral and interment will take place at Crozet.
