Portland Observer, 26 Feb 1902

The remains of a young man named Eugene Lewis were brought to Easton from
Traverse City for burial one day last week, the young man having met his death
from a most unusual cause.  He and the engineer of the locomotive upon which he
was fireman thought they saw an approaching train as they were going into
Traverse City and the engineer reversed his engine and stepped down on the side
step, and, finding out it was a phantom he had seen, did not jump.  Lewis,
however, jumped from the engine and fell and fractured his skull so that he died
soon after.

[Transcriber's Note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that he was
buried in Easton Cemetery.]
