Theodore J. Boyer, 24, of 1 1/2 Chestnut Street, Franklin, was killed instantly at 1:30 pm Sunday while at work as a switchman for the P&LE Railroad at McKees Rocks. He had assisted in setting a train on a siding and stepped from its rear directly in front of a fast passenger train. He was born in Jefferson County.
He was a machinist by trade. He came here August 4, 1915, and entered into the employ of the PRR as switchman. When the United States declared war with Germany, he enlisted, trained at Camp Dix, and went overseas with an engineering corps. On his return, he resumed work with the PRR shops, where he continued until the strike. On Wednesday last week he went to McKees Rocks to work for the P&LE as a trainman. He was a member of the Protected Home Circle, the Knights of Malta, and Machinists' Union 114 of Franklin.
Two years ago he married Miss Emma Waslohn, and she survives, with his mother of Pansy, Jefferson County; and brothers and sisters, Joshua Buell and Merle, Mrs. Nellie Ferguson and Miss Helen Boyer, all of Pansy, and Mrs. Mabel Young of Kittanning.
The body was taken to a morgue in Pittsburgh where E. L. Young and Austin Main, brother-in-law, and a cousin, Virgil Boyer, who left here on the "Moonlight" this morning, took charge of it, returning with it to Franklin at 12:45 this afternoon.
