Chalmar Dooley, a Pennsylvania railroad freight brakeman, who was struck by a passenger train yesterday, one mile west of Duncannon, while attending to a hot journal, and instantly killed, was brought to Graham and Son's mortuary, Tyrone, where the body was prepared for burial.
Mr. Dooley, who was working with Conductor J. C. Bair, started to walk across the track when the approaching express was almost upon him, not noticing it in the dark. Mr. Bair made a vain attempt to seize Dooley and pull him from the track, and was himself almost struck by the flyer. Dooley was aged 29 years, married and resided at 2181 Lloyd street, Altoona.
The train that struck him was No. 50, the Washington express. The body was picked up and taken to Duncannon where it was turned over to an undertaker, who later shipped it to Graham's, Tyrone.
Mr. Dooley was born Feb. 27, 1896 at New Enterprise, the son of David and Annie Dooley. He entered the service of the company as a laborer in 1916 and became a brakeman the following year. He was married to Charlotte M. Beck, of Warrior's Mark in 1922. He is survived by his wife, his mother, who resided at New Enterprise, four sisters and a brother: Mrs. Guy Fleck, of Altoona; Mrs. Daniel Hoffman, of New Enterprise; Mrs. M. D. Shaffer of Volant, and Catherine and Harry of New Enterprise.
He was a member of the First Church of the Brethren, the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the Pennsylvania Relief.
The body was taken to the home of his sister, 127 Crawford avenue, Altoona, where funeral services will be held on Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Interment will be made in Burket's cemetery in Warrior's Mark.
