Ionia Standard – Friday, 8 October 1897
Saranac, Oct 7. – A little son of the late C. F. Edson wandered near the 
railroad track Tuesday morning, and was struck by the 7:25 train, fracturing 
its skull.  The child is still alive, but there is little hope of its 
recovery.  The mother saw him and ran to his rescue, but was too late.  The 
shock was so great that she lay for sometime in a precarious condition.  This 
family seems to be a sadly afflicted one, and have the sympathy of the entire 
community.
Friday, 15 October 1897:  The little Edson child injured by a passing train, 
died from the effects and was buried Saturday afternoon, the Rev. F. E. 
Stowell of the F. M. church officiating.  An inquest was held, and the verdict 
of the jury was that the child came to its death by injuries received from a 
passing train through the negligence of the engineer.  There is, however, a 
diversity of opinions with regard to the verdict and what the outcome will be, 
remains to be seen.
