Death Notice for Robert Sedlatzeck
(DOB not given) death date was Sunday January 25, 1885. This article was printed Monday January 26, 1885 by the Champaign Daily Gazette (page 4) under the

Robert Sedlatzeck, who has been a freight conductor on the I. B. and W. for some time, and who boarded at the Griggs House, in this city, fell between two cars on his train at Bloomington Sunday night, at about 11 o'clock, and had his right arm and right leg cut off. The engineer and fireman, who saw him fall, stopped the train immediately, and went back to where he was. They found him under the
cars and badly mangled. They took him to the St. Joseph's Hospital in Bloomington, where he died about eight o'clock Sunday morning.
Mr. Sedlatzeck was about 23 years of age. He was a very reliable railroad man, and his death was a sad blow to his many friends in this city. His remains will probably be
taken to Havana, where his parents reside.
Mrs Annie Sedlatzeck, his sister-in-law, of this city, went by the I.B. & W. yesterday morning, and attended him in his last hours. (its apparently a typo, he boarded the train Saturday evening at the Griggs house, which schedule showed stops there at 10:30pm on that date).
His mother and such are Mt. Hope in Urbana, Ill. and some in Terre Haute, Indiana.
