The Ionia Weekly Standard, Friday, November 4, 1910

George Erickson of this city, aged 28 years, a freight brakeman, met a 
horrible death at Lakeview at 12:15 Tuesday afternoon.  He left Ionia that 
morning at 7:30, on freight train No. 212, and at above hour, while switching 
in the yards at Lakeview, it is surmised that he must have slipped and fallen 
under the moving wheels of the cars.  There were no eye witnesses to the 
accident, but he was found in a minute or two after the accident is supposed 
to have occurred, dead, his body cut in two just above the hips.

Deceased was unmarried, and lived with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew 
Erickson, just south of the watering pipe alongside the Pere Marquette main 
track at the car shops.  Remains will be brought to the home here this evening.

George Erickson was a young man of jovial temperament, and a good worker but 
had been running in hard luck of late.  It was only a little more than a month 
ago that he had a foot mashed, and suffered the loss of a toe.
