The Colby Tribune
Thomas County
Thursday
April 8, 1915

Word was received Saturday stating the death of Ray WELD of Russell, Kansas and
formerly of Colby. He was run over by a Union Pacific train at that place. Mr.
Weld has been foreman of the Russell Record for the past three years, since N.A.
TURNER has had charge, of the paper there and was also his foreman for several
years here when Nort was editor of the Tribune and office was over the post
office in the south part of the brick building which is now owned by J. T.
FITZGERALD.

At the time Ray was here he was slightly hard of hearing and later he continued
to get worse so that in a few years he was absolutely deaf and unable to hear a
thing. We have heard none of the particulars but presume that his inability to
hear the train coming was the cause of his death. Friends certainly sympathize
with the bereaved wife and babies in this loss which comes as a shock. Mr. Weld
must have been killed last Thursday evening as an account was given in Friday's
State Journal.
