He attended soldiers reunion at that place on 22dult., and the next morning was found dead on the railroad tracks a train having passed over his body. He was in his sixty-eighth year. His father's family were once residents of Livingston county. It is three years last August since a brother was killed in the Chatsworth disaster.

A Toledo, Peoria and Western Railroad (TP&W) train bound for Niagara Falls crossed over a trestle, weakened earlier in the day by a fire, causing it to collapse.
