The Tuolumne Independent, May 16, 1903
"Fatally Injured

Oscar Harlan, a brakeman on the Sierra road, received injuries at Tuolumne 
Monday morning [May 11] from which he died that day.  He was signaling the 
engine of a freight train in the switch yard, but when he attempted to step out 
of the way to let the locomotive pass, he found that his foot was securley 
fastened between the outside rail and the guard rail.  The engine struck him 
before it could be stopped, crushing his right leg and injuring his abdomen so 
severely that death was the ultimate result. The remains were taken to his home 
in Visalia, where the interment took place." END [Note that records indicate he 
was possibly buried in the San Lorenzo Cemetery, Alameda County and not in 
Visalia.]
