Wesley Wynn, the young colored brakesman, who was run over by a train 
of the V.S.&P. R.R., yesterday, mention of which accident was made in 
this paper last evening, died at 5 p.m.- about three hours after the 
occurrence and was buried at 3 o'clock this afternoon. "Blood", as he 
was known, was one of those colored citizens who worked hard and 
respected all and was dutiful to any trust imposed upon him by his 
employers.
