CRUSHED BY AN ENGINE
The Awful Fate of Robert Marshall and Wife
Times-Gazette, June 22, 1895
Mr. and Mrs. Marshall of Colma were run down by an engie Wednesday morning and both instantly killed, and the double wagon in which they were driving, smashed into splinters but, strange as it may appear, the horses were not injured. They had left their home which is situated a half mile west of Colma station about a quarter to 4 o'clock a. m. on the above morning, intending to go to the city, arriving at the station at 4 o'clock when they were struck by a passing engine going south.
In consequence of the early hour, no one saw the accident except the engineer, fireman, and a news-carrier for the Examiner. After the collision, the engine was brought to a stand as quickly as possible and run back to where the collision occurred, when the three men picked up the bodies and placed them in a box car.
