Obituary:

"Corporal Jack" as he was known among Grand Army circles everywhere, was a baggage master on the old Woodstock Accomodation train to and from Chicago.

That was back in the nineties when this train was operated by Conductor Lyman S Page, Engineer James Winters, Brakeman Jesse Austin, and Express Messenger H.D. McLaughlin. Firemen we remember included Fred Bunk. After Mr. Page's death came Conductor James McCaffrey.

As a buglar, Corporal Jack had no superior, and in all parades and public affairs, especially political rallies, he took a prominent part. He was loved and respected by all. One of his daughters is Mrs. Edward A. Senger of this city. Mr. Darrell died March 11, 1913 aged 87 years.
