The Herald, Piedmont, West Virginia, 27 Apr 1894: 
"It becomes our duty to record a fatal accident to one of 
our prominent and respected citizens, Mr. Michael J.Gilmore, 
which occurred at the West Virgina Junction April 13, 1894. 
Mr Gilmore was employed as yard conductor by the W.Va. 
Central railway and was shifting some cars, making a running 
siwtch at the time. He was on top of a box car and while 
putting down the brakes the iron hook attached to the break 
chain broke, the sudden release of the wheel overbalancing 
him throwing him to the ground with great force in front of 
the moving cars which ran over him. Despite the efforts of 
doctors, he passed away quietly Saturday night. Michael 
Joseph Gilmore, is the eldest son of Mr. John C. Gilmore and 
brother to Mrs. Bessie Fleming, wife of Michael Fleming. 
Miss Mary Gilmore, Messrs. John T. Gilmore and P. J. 
Gilmore, each of whom feel very keenly this providential 
affiction. Mr. Gilmore would have been thirty-two years of 
age the 5th of next October. Nine years ago last December, 
he was united in marriage at Elk Garden to Miss Rose Kenney. 
A wife and three children survive him. Mr. Gilmore was 
raised in this community and was an honorable man and good 
citizen and was held in high esteem. The funeral took place 
Tuesday from St. Peters Catholic church of which deceased 
had long been a faithful member. The members of Knobley 
Division No. 183 O.R.C. of Keyser, of which Mr. Gilmore was 
a member, attended the funeral as did members of Mountain 
Lodge No. 267 B. of R.T. of the same city and the O.R.C. of 
Grafton and Brunswick."
