"Manitoba Free Press" Winnipeg, Sat 26 Dec 1903: "
Connellsville, Pa., Dec 25-Another name has been added to the long death list resulting 
from the Duquesne Limited wreck on the Baltimore & Ohio, at Dawson, on Wednesday night. 
Harry Devlin, one of the three remaining patients at the Cottage State hospital, died at 
10 o'clock today. The total dead now number 65, and this probably completes the list as 
the two still at the hospital are doing well and will probably recover. Devlin's home 
was at Lonaconing, Md. Special services for the dead were held in all the Protestant 
churches of the Coke regions today and after the burial of Father Fienello, which will 
take place tomorrow, the Catholic churches will hold mass for the dead. The bodies of 
about thirty of the victims were taken on early trains. Those remaining identified will 
be shipped within the next twenty-four hours and the unknowns, will be cared for by the 
borough council. A special meeting has been held to form a relief committee to look 
after bodies unidentified or unclaimed. In case no friends appear the citizens will see 
that the victims are not buried in the Potter's Field."
