Killed in Birmingham

Mr. Joe Hammock, who was raised over in the neighborhood of Tazewell and well 
known in this county, net a tragic death at Birmingham last Sunday.

He was foreman of the switch engines in the Louisville and Nashville railroad 
yards and about 8 o’clock on Sunday night, while going out of the yard with a 
cut of cars, holding on a ladder attached to the side of the car, when the 
train passed under the bridge crossing at Twenty-second street, Mr. Hammock was 
knocked off by the collision, his head badly mashed and he was so seriously 
injured internally that as stated he died during the night.

The remains of Mr. Hammock were shipped to Howard, from which point they were 
taken to the family burying ground.
