MOP Switchman Dies of Injuries
Roy Mosier, 47, struck by freight train in Texarkana
Roy Mosier, 47, Missouri Pacific switchman, died in a hospital here from a fracture of the skull suffered Monday night when he was struck by a freight car in the yards here.
He has been in railroading 25 years. He was discovered unconscious beside the tracks by Car Inspector Henry Prudhome. He died without gaining consciousness.
There were no witnesses to the accident, but trainmen theorized that he had been struck by a car that had rolled along the tracks a few minutes before he was found.
Mr. Mosier came to Texarkana from Newport 16 years ago.
He is survived by his wife; a son Jack Mosier; two daughters, Freida May and Betty Jean Mosier, all of Texarkana; a half-brother, McKinley, of Brinkley; a sister, Mrs. Paul Brustman of St. Paul; and two half-sisters, Mrs. Hattie Summers and Mrs. Sadie Mae Trout of Brinkley.
Funeral services will be held at 3 p.m. Tuesday, at the County Avenue Baptist Church, by the Rev. H. S. Thomas of Malvern.
