The Herald, Piedmont, West Virginia, 9 Mar 1900:  
"James L. Duffy, who for the past 25 years has been connected with the B&O 
railroad as conductor on a third division, died at his home in Cumberland 
Friday, March 2, 1900 of pneumonia after a week’s illness.  Mr. Duffy was 
born in County Rosscommon, Ireland, 52 years ago, coming to this country 
when quite a young man. Shortly after his arrival here he went to 
railroading and followed that vocation until his death. He was well and 
favorably known by both the officials and the men of the road and was always 
looked upon as being one of the most trusted employees. He is survived by 
his wife and three children, Patrick, John and Maggie. The funeral took 
place Monday in Westernport at St. Peters Catholic church, with interment in 
the Catholic cemetery. The funeral was in charge of the Order of Railway 
Conductors, of which Mr. Duffy was a member and in which order he carried a 
life insurance policy."
