Table Rock Argus, Jun. 3, 1932.
Instantly Killed- A sad accident happened at Violet Saturday afternoon when Burlington motor train No. 16 struck and instantly killed Charles Avery, a farmer 53, who lived in the Violet neighborhood. The engineer, Frank Myers, saw Avery come down the bank and cross the ditch on a plank, come toward the train, and hastily pulled the whistle cord, but he was excited and pulled so hard he broke the cord. He also says Avery was not looking toward the train and came on until he was struck by the train, thrown to the side of the track and instantly killed. The train did not run over him. He apparently did not hear the train as he was very deaf. He leaves a widow and children and was a brother of Sheriff Guy Avery and had lived in Pawnee county all his life.
