The Ionia Standard, Friday, February 20, 1885

Wm. Foreman was the victim of a sad and fatal accident Wednesday afternoon.  
He was near the crossing of the two railroads, when the afternoon passenger 
from the east on the D., L.&N. railroad came in.  The train stopped before 
crossing the D., G.H.&M. railway track and was going very slowly.  Foreman 
attempted to jump on and fell under the wheels.  He was cut in two near the 
middle of his body, and of course killed instantly.  The snow has been 
shoveled out both sides of the track, and is heaped up several feet high.  The 
continual passing of trains and escape of steam has made these banks very 
slippery, and there is little doubt but the unfortunate man slipped just as he 
reached for the platform of the car.  He was a young man, about twenty, son of 
Charles Foreman of this city.
