KILLED BY TRAIN

Wm. Crow, aged 23 years, son of Mike Crow, was found dead on the railroad bridge on
the L. & N. R. R. near Myers last Monday morning.  The body was fearfully mangled and
indicated that  death was instantaneous.   Coroner Hutchings was called and held an
inquest at which it was  developed that he had been in attendance on the meeting  near
White Chimney and had also  been to Carlisle during the evening and had started home
about ten or eleven o'clock,  which  was the last time he was seen alive.  The
Coroner's Jury, hearing developed no facts except  that he was supposedly killed by
the excursion train Sunday night some time about 11:30. Funeral services were held at
St Johns' Church, Monday, and burial at Carlisle Cemetery.   This makes two of Mr. and
Mrs. Mike Crow's sons that have been killed by the railroad and  both within a few
yards of the same place.
