The Paulding New Era, March 29, 1883
Mr. W.H. Fisher, a locomotive engineer, setting in the capacity of brakeman 
for a while in order to learn the road, while endeavoring to descend from the 
top of the car next to the caboose, the train running at a rapid speed, at a 
point about three and one half miles above Dallas, missed his footing and fell 
through between the cars, the brake beam crushing his skull, his right hand 
being cut off at the wrist by the ponderous wheels, his body otherwise 
fearfully ___.  The train ran about a mile before it’s speed could be checked, 
and returning, Mr. Fisher was brought down to Dallas in an unconscious 
condition, where Drs. Connally and Foster were called to him, but surgical aid 
could be of no avail.  He died at 3 o’clock and 5 minutes on Friday morning.  
His remains were forwarded to his family in Kentucky for interment.
